After Mincha (afternoon prayers) on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the Minhag is to walk to a river to say Tashlich; verses about Hashem's willingness to forgive those who repent. Preferably the river should have fish and be outside the city. If this is impractical one can even use a well which doesn't flow and is without fish. One then symbolically shakes out ones pockets as a reminder to shake off ones sins and to start the new year with a fresh attitude towards Mitzvoth. After Tashlich one should go to shul and spend the rest of the time before Maariv (evening prayers) learning Torah, Mussar or saying Tehillim.

Halocho #1 - Learn some Torah every day
After daily davening Shacharis you should have an immutable fixed time to learn some Torah. Even the potential of earning a lot of money should not void this fixed time. In an emergency, at the very least you should learn one Posuk or one Halocho, and catch up on your daily quota when you free up. KSA 27:1 KSA is short for Kitzur Shulchan Aruch
סימן כז – הלכות תלמוד תורה
סעיף א - אחר התפלה יקבע עת ללמוד תורה, וצריך שאותו העת תהיה קבוע, שלא יעבירנו אף אם סבר להרויח הרבה. ואם צריך לעשות איזה דבר נחוץ מאד, ילמוד מקודם לכל הפחות פסוק אחד או הלכה אחת, ויעשה מה שנחוץ לו ואחר כך ישלים חקו. ובקצת קהלות קדושות נתיסדו חברות קדושות, ללמוד תורה ברבים מיד לאחר התפלה, ויש לכל ירא שמים להתחבר אליהם.
