I'd rephrase it only a little:

What can I do today to make my life ~~self~~ a little better tomorrow?

Your variant sounds too much like self optimization, where you optimize yourself to become a good tool for society. I know, you probably did not mean it like this and that's what motivated my suggestion for rephrasing. A lot of these ideas can also be found in ancient stoic literature and later, in Schopenhauer's writings. I dearly recommend to read some of them.

Make your life better, and make sure you do it not to please others, but only yourself. This is very difficult as many men (and my humble self) have been trained that their only pleasure as a grown up adult can be derived by pleasing others.

Do what you enjoy, be your own best friend. Do not seek validation from other people. Only you can validate yourself. It is very hard, but if you train every day, you will become increasingly more content and less reliant on other people.

You are body and mind, enrich your mind learning and keeping it busy with something, nurture your body with some exercise (even walking 1 hour every now and then works...)

Everything else comes alone.

For me, I found that I have to improve my job skills, so I am taking online video lessons online (in programming). I accepted that right now I may know little, but gradually I will build up and know more.

It's a combination of reading (or researching) and to act on it.
