Assalaamu alaykum
Worship is the expression of one's servitude to Allah. Du'a is the essence of worship.
The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to make preparations for Ramadhan six months in advance, in which they would keep asking Allah to let them reach Ramadhan and in good health. Then for the next six months, they would keep asking Allah to accept their Ramadhan worship. This is the way of the best generation of the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and grant him peace). They took the matter of worshiping Allah very seriously. It is their way of life.
Ramadhan is over but not your du'as and deeds.
Continue your du'as earnestly. Like the sahabah, keep asking Allah to accept your worship in Ramadhan and have great hope in Allah that He will accept our Ramadhan worship and good deeds. Keep the spirit of Ramadhan going and always turning to Allah and seeking His forgiveness in abundance. May Allah enable us to reach next Ramadhan in good health.
We should also intend to perform as many good actions, short and long term, and take the means to accomplish them. Actions are only by intentions.
From the Amir al-Muminin Abu Hafs 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, radiya'llahu 'anhu, that he said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saying, 'Actions are only by intentions, and every man has only that which he intended. Whoever's emigration is for Allah and His Messenger then his emigration is for Allah and His Messenger. Whoever's emigration is for some worldly gain which he can acquire or a woman he will marry then his emigration is for that for which he emigrated'." [Bukhari]
Intention is the measure for rendering actions true, so that where intention is sound action is sound, and where it is corrupt then action is corrupt
It's always the case of too many things to do in such little time. But inshaa Allah from the barakah (blessing) of time and your good intentions, you will be able to accomplish what you intend to do, including what's on your "Ramadhan To Do List" that you were not quite able to do, such as complete reading of the Quran, memorize some surahs, read the meanings of the Quran, learn some Arabic, read some tafsir, seerah, remove certain blameworthy traits, pick up certain praiseworthy trait, establish ties of kinship, etc.
May Allah accept our worship and good deeds of Ramadhan, forgive and pardon us, and relieve the tribulations of the Ummah. May Allah grant us well being and righteous deeds, and help us worship Him with excellence. Ameen.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.
Wassalaam
