There are a few core things you need to check off on your list to make sure you will advance nicely in all areas.
First you need to make sure your chakras are all nicely opened, and that you keep them empowered through some work every day. For more stubborn chakras like the 2nd, 6th and 7th chakra, and the third eye, I would recommend actually performing the opening meditations for them several times until you can clearly feel them being open beyond any doubt.
[Also see here a sermon from Mageson on the crown chakra. The "Manas" mantra is worth trying when you work on opening this chakra.]
For empowering your chakras, you should make sure you do a bit of chakra spinning every day (it takes like 2-5 minutes), as well as daily Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga. The positions in these also work to open and empower the chakras.
[You can just go with the basic routines for these, with the basic times that are given, and it will be fine. If you personally feel that you want more, you can just start doing the positions for twice the time maybe, and build from there. Some people like doing Yoga for really long, but we are all individual on this. Go with what you prefer personally, but never go below the times in the basic routines from JoS.]
In addition to this, if you want to do a bit more you can do a quick round of mantra vibrations into your chakras. Doing for example 8 vibrations in each chakra, together with some 1 minute period of meditating on the respective chakra (potentially with a small affirmation that it is active and open at all times), can be done in some 20 minutes total. You can also combine this with the chakra spinning if you want.
Second, you need to examine yourself, your soul, and your situation in general and determine where your biggest issues are right now. You can use Mannaz to gain a more clear picture on these things, and if you know some astrology then you can also check where Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto transits are currently in your Natal Chart (this shows what areas of your life are being affected right now by good luck, hardship, and transformation respectively). This can help you to make it more clear what you should work on first in order to improve your life.
Once you have realized for yourself what you need/want to improve, the next step is to find out how to do that and where the core issues come from. In many cases, our issues come from inner blockages and traumas. Because of this, it's a great idea to identify where you may have these things and to then start a working that directly attacks that area with deep cleaning. Usually these issues are centralized in a specific chakra and are blocking it (which also ties back in with the first point of striving to have fully open chakras), so work on cleaning this and healing any traumas you have there. Focus on the biggest, most prevalent issue and fix your problems one at a time with specific workings.
Thirdly, make sure to have a good routine of soul/aura cleaning and AoP that you do atleast twice a day (usually in the morning and evening). Contrary to the previous point, here I mean general cleaning of your whole soul, rather than targeting a specific area. The focused cleaning working will likely release a lot of dirt at times, and having no general cleaning in your routine can make this very annoying. The general cleaning flushes out any dirt that may be set free by the focused cleaning.
A great example for this is the Returning Curses I & II by Maxine. It's the most quick and easy way to take care of the general cleaning and AoP in one. Usually it would be done with 111x Surya, but you can go for lower vibrations, too.
And lastly, of course also do the very obivous things like the RTR and some Void Meditation daily as well. All of these things together can be done in 1 - 2 hours if you take your time, depending on how many vibrations you use in the general cleaning/AoP and focused cleaning.
