While preparing for UPSC, what things one should do apart from focussing on books?

Based on my experience, I will suggest the following things:

Prepare a time table and adhere to it. You will be amazed to see how your efficiency goes up.

Be observant of things around you and develop opinions on important topics.

Develop the habit of reading. Read good books such as Pax Indica, read editorials in newspapers, read articles in a magazine.

Develop the art of writing. You can write a blog, write a article, write letters to the editor. A simple way to develop writing skills is to write summaries of the newspaper editorials.

Stay away from political ideologies and such friends who waste time in endless political discussions or hold anti-establishment views. Activists and Cynics are not required in the administration.

Take up some exercise so that you remain physically fit.

If you have time, read about famous personalities such as Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, and others. You can read their biographies or books written by them.

While reading about any topic or issue, try to see the macro picture behind it rather than getting into the nitty-gritty details. An administrator is required to understand the broad contours of any problem.

Develop a circle of good friends who are as dedicated for preparation as you are.

Good Luck :)
