I once heard a narration of a pious person who mentioned the benefits of sitting in the company of the pious.
He mentions it is like visiting an ittar shop. You will probably buy some ittar and use it regularly and derive benefit on a daily basis, if you don't buy any the shop owner may apply some on your clothes and atleast for that whole day you will be smelling very nice, and if that also does not happen atleast you will enjoy the fragrances for a few minutes or hours while you are in the store. So the benefit of associating with the pious is definetly there.

The above analogy is mentionedin a hadith.

Another thing which has not been mentioned here is to make the increase of worship (whether remembrance, recital of Qur'an, Salawaat, istighfar) regular. The most benefit is from regular forms of worship. It is better to do istighfar 70 times daily (for example) than 70,000 times in one day and then stop.
