I'm assuming that that link is to the Ramadan Checklist. I just had a look and it's a wonderful idea. Very clear and innovative.

The only thing I slightly disagree with is the line:
"Study and Learn Islamic Knowledge"

Well AFAIK the ulama of the past (and most likely the present) would close their books/lessons/teachings during Ramadan and devote themselves to one book, i.e. the Quran and it's recitation.
It would literally be 'downtime' for all activities except for reading as much Quran as they could, plus of course dua, zikr, nafl, sadaqah etc.

Maybe an alim can clarify this.

imho the best use of time is to read, read, read as much Quran as possible. it's spiritual food whilst fasting. that's the whole purpose of ramadan.
Asalaamu Alaikum, yes you are certainly right that Ramadan is the month of the Qur'an and that is what we should mainly be devoted to throughout this month. But personally i think it is a good idea to vary ones worship throughout the day otherwise one would may get bored and begin to procrastinate and therefore varying ones worship a little throughout the day is a good way of keeping productive. Personally i find learning a little bit of beneficial knowledge and reminders especially regarding death and the hereafter are a brilliant way to contemplate, reflect and ponder throughout Ramadan. But certainly it is recommended to recite as much of the Qur'an as possible but it is not realistic for the average person to recite more than one juz at a time and therefore it is best to recite a little and then do another worship and then go back to reciting Qur'an etc.

May Allah enable us to do everything to please him the most in this blessed month and refrain from anything which angers and displeases him. Ameen
