# It is forbidden to prepare for the second day during the first day of Yom Tov<ref> Shulchan Aruch 503:1 </ref>, even if the preparation doesn't include any melacha <ref> Mishna Brura 503:1 </ref>. Therefore, one should not wash dishes or roll the sefer torah to the proper place, or bring a siddur to use in shul, or prepare the candles to light later, or set up the chairs and tables for use on the second day.<ref>Yom Tov Sheni Kehilchato 1:3 </ref>
# Included in this prohibition is saying that any action you do is in preparation for the next day.<ref> Shulchan Aruch 416:2, Yom Tov Sheni Kehilchato 1:3</ref>
# One should only prepare the food for the second day once it is certainly nighttime of the second day.<ref> Yom Tov Sheni Kehilchato 1:3, Biur Halacha 503 in the name of the Pri Megadim </ref>
# One can cook extra food on the first day of Yom Tov once he is cooking anyway for the first day, as long as there is no added exertion for the second day. Therefore, one can fill the pot with food for both days and cook.<ref> Shulchan Aruch 503:1, Yom Tov Sheni Kehilchato 1:4. Mishna Brura 503:6 adds that one should be careful not to say that the extra is for the second day, but in 503:15 writes that if he does so, that doesn't make the food prohibited. </ref> However, once the pot is on the fire, one cannot take it off and add food just for the second day.<Ref> Rama 503:2, Yom Tov Sheni Kehilchato 1:4</ref> If it is fish and meat, one would be permitted to add food for the second day even when the pot is already on the fire.<ref>Mishna Brura 503:5 writes that this is permitted because the extra food enhances the taste of everything in the pot, Yom Tov Sheni Kehilchato 1:4</ref>

# Most poskim hold that one must light the candles for the second day of Yom Tov after nightfall because it is forbidden to prepare from one day of Yom Tov for the next.<ref> The son of the Prisha (Introduction to Prisha YD) quotes his mother as saying that on the second day of Yom Tov one must light after nightfall so as not to prepare from one day of Yom Tov for the next. The Levush 488 and Eliyah Rabba 488:7 argues that one may light before nightfall as long as it is getting dark out because the candles are beneficial even for the first day so that one can see better in the light. Mishna Brurah 514:33 agrees. Nitai Gavriel (Yom Tov v. 2, 15:3, p. 107) points out that the Eliyah Rabba would agree with the Prisha's mother in the common case where there are electric lights no and the candles doesn't make it easier to see.</ref>
