Advice on how to get the most out of the last 10 days ?

If you really wanted to maximize the last ten days, then engage yourself in extra Nawafil during the regular Salat, go to the Masjid to offer the obligatory Salat, wake up for Tahajjud and read the Qur'an as much as you can. Then engage in Tasbih during your daily tasks and remember Allah constantly. The Holy Prophet (saw) used to pray much more intensely during these last ten days of Ramadan and he used to wake up at night to pray and wake up his family members to pray.

Don't over exert yourself either. Do what you can. Do more prayers consistently during these last ten days. It is said that Allah loves those deeds which are done continuously and often rather than one time or some times and not other times.
 
A general advice:

"The most excellent fasting is to make the human senses and organs, such as the eyes, ears, heart, and thoughts, fast together with the stomach. That is, to withdraw them from unlawful things and from trivia, and to urge each of them to their particular worship.

For example, to ban the tongue from lying, back-biting, and obscene language and to make it fast; and to busy it with such activities as reciting the Qur’an, praying, glorifying God’s Names, asking for God’s blessings for the Prophet Muhammad (Upon whom be blessings and peace), and seeking forgiveness for sins;

and for example, to prevent the eyes looking at members of the opposite sex outside the stipulated degrees of kinship, and the ears from hearing harmful things, and to use the eyes to take lessons and the ears to listen to the truth and to the Qur’an, is to make other organs fast too.

As a matter of fact, since the stomach is the largest factory, when it has an enforced holiday from work through fasting, the other small workshops are made to follow it easily." ~ Bediuzzaman
