what something i can do for God, i already pray the Rosary, read the Holy Bible daily, and I’m going to start praying the litany of the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart every day what else can i do?
 
Do those things which your Spiritual Father directs you to do. Doing too much at once results in burnout and a perception of ‘failure’ when you don’t succeed. The great saints did not become so overnight, we only hear about the end of their life when they had achieved great sanctity.

I’ll add I always hate hearing responses like these that tell me to slow down and be patient, but it’s true. Perhaps that’s the greatest thing we can “do” for God - to learn patience and humility.

Find a way to serve the poor and/or marginalized.
 
Pray the divine office, and little office of the blessed virgin mary 7 times a day

Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet in addition to the rosary (recite it on a regular rosary)
(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

Have the divine mercy image and sacred heart image venerated in your house.

You can pray other devotions, such as chaplet of St. Anthony.

Go to confession frequently (weekly, every fortnight, monthly), have a regular confessor. It can be more than 1 (at present I have 4)

Read the Saints Books (have Spiritual Readings regularly, from the saints books)

Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska - Divine Mercy in my soul is a good start
saintsworks.net/books/St.%20Faustina%20Kowalska%20-%20Diary.pdf

Life of Dominic Savio - by St. John Don Bosco
saintsworks.net/books/St.%20John%20Bosco%20-%20The%20Life%20of%20Dominic%20Savio.rtf

You can find more books

The saints books will give you guidance in your spiritual life, you can imitate them.

Go to adoration frequently if you can. If your parish offers it. But if not, you can do remote adoration in this site: savior.org/. Sing some love songs for Jesus, using guitar or piano. It can be in front of him in adoration. Songs and music brings us closer to the Lord.

Pray without ceasing. Receive the sacraments Frequently (confession and eucharist). Have Spiritual Readings.

Do this regularly.

May the merciful Jesus bless you. 🙂
 
How about spend time with Him and listen to Him? Bring along a Bible or some spiritual work and read with Jesus in the Tabernacle. I did just that this afternoon, I started reading the first chapter of John out loud, and stopped after a while, and just sat there, until I “heard” in my mind the words “read some more.” and I read until just before the baptism of our Lord. The passages I read were more real for me then than they have ever been since I can remember.

do you mean prayer-wise, or your whole spiritual life in general?
if you want to learn what God wants from you, or what you can do to please God more, try reading the lives and writings of the saints, which you can find many of on www.tanbooks.com
along with many other good trustworthy Catholic literature.

Saint Alphonsus recommends spiritual reading every day, especially the lives of the saints, you can read his sermon on it here - gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=19085241
that is one of the best ways to learn how to live a good Catholic life the way God wants, that and mental prayer.
 
Volunteer to visit the imprisoned, or the sick in a hospital/hospice, or assist at a shelter, or at a home for single mothers.

Honor Jesus by doing those things he said to do.
