A Ramadan checklist
1- Ask Allah to enable you to reach Ramadan and to get the most out of it .
2- Intend to fast every day with Iman and pure intention seeking the reward from Allah alone
3- Read the whole Qur'an at least once
4. Have Suhoor as the Prophet peace be upon him said, "Have Suhoor because it is blessed".
5- the Prophet peace be upon him said that three people's supplication is not rejected one of them is the fasting person.

Ramadan mubarak to you too...here's some facts to add to your list
9-Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection, prayer, doing good deeds and spending time with family and friends. The fasting is intended to help teach Muslims self-discipline, self-restraint and generosity. Obscene and irreligious sights and sounds are to be avoided. Purity of both thought and action is important. It also reminds them of the suffering of the poor, who may rarely get to eat well.
10-During the whole month of ramadan, muslims performing the tarawih prayers after solat isha'a . Women can perform tarawih at home, whereas men should preferably perform taraweeh in the masjid in congregation.
11-During Ramadan it is believed that one of the last few odd-numbered nights of the month is the Laylat ul-Qadr, the "Night of Power" or "Night of Destiny." It is the holiest night of the holiest month; it is believed to be the night on which God first began revealing the Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Jibril. This is a time for especially fervent and devoted prayer, and the rewards and blessings associated with such are manifold. Muslims are told in the Qur'an that praying throughout this one night is better than a thousand months of prayer. No one knows exactly which night it is; it is one of God's mysteries. Additionally, Muslims are urged to read the entire Qur'an during the month of Ramadan, and its 114 chapters have been divided into 30 equal parts for this purpose.
12-At the end of ramadan, shawal takes place. It is a joyous time beginning with a special prayer, and accompanied by celebration, socializing, festive meals and sometimes very modest gift-giving, especially to children.
13-When Ramadan ends, Muslims give charity in a locally prescribed amount, calculated to feed one poor person in that region for one day. This is known as fitra, and is meant as another reminder of the suffering endured by many. Many Muslims also take this occasion to pay the annual alms which are due to the poor and needy, known as Zakah (2.5% of assets).

I'm preparing by constantly thinking about it; but I may have it easier than most for I work nights. My normal day is 180 degrees opposite of yours. What I plan on doing is a lot of praying, reading and writing...especially to family. I am the only Muslim in my area, a very small town in Nebraska and I have been blessed so far with very tolerant and understanding c-workers and friends. During Ramadan I plan on letting them see a positive example of a Muslim, one that shows respect not only for his faith but of their lifestyle and faith also. Salam
