"It is a month between Rajab and Ramadan that people neglect.

  The month of Shaban is a special time when our deeds are presented to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "It is a month between Rajab and Ramadan that people neglect. It is a month in which deeds are taken up to the Lord of the worlds, and I like that my deeds be taken up while I am fasting."  Dr.Bilal Philips

Minimize the wasted time in useless activities to spend more time gaining barakah.

Satan fears the prayer, don’t let him interfere in your Salah.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “When the call for the prayer is pronounced, Satan takes to his heels, passing wind with noise, When the call for the prayer is finished, he comes back. And when the Iqama is pronounced, he again takes to his heels, and after its completion, he returns to interfere between the (praying) person and his heart, saying to him. 'Remember this or that thing.' till the person forgets whether he has offered three or four rak`at: so if one forgets whether he has prayed three or four rak`at, he should perform two prostrations of Sahu (i.e. forgetfulness).” – Bukhari 3285
