I feel this is an important point to make. It's too easy to just sit down after a day at work or at college, or even if you're sick and have to stay at home all day.
With sit down, I mean: watching TV. Chatting with online friends, playing video games, watching movies, reading books, browsing the web for funny pictures or interesting news...
All these things are great, and often necessary for us to calm down and give us some enjoyment. BUT, they also don't do anything for our lives to improve.. You don't really live if all you do is to consume.
Often, even very small things are enough to make your life improve. Here's a few examples:
I'll start. Today, I'll get to bed early. Is good to be rested for work... Is kinda a short term thing, but yeah.
Now to the main point: What did you do today, to make tomorrow better?

- Clean your place. Easier to invite someone home.
- Call up a relative or friend, and try planning a small something for the next weekend.
- Buy a ticket for a concert, buy a plane ticket to get away and visit some place.
- Familiarize yourself with something you are curious about. Kinda want a pet, but never get yourself going about it? Go visit a pet store, and talk to the staff. You're not binding yourself up to anything, but you'll make things easier for yourself. Same goes for anything really. Swimming pool, gym, sports hall...
- Work to improve some skill. These takes time, but are very rewarding. Juggling, tinkering, carpentry, guitar, programming, cooking, drawing, writing, academic stuff, math, singing... You pick. There are lots of options...
- Improve your physical condition. Stretch, do some pushups, go jog, etc..
