I've been fortunate to have had three instructors (primary, instrument and
retractable check-out) who not only taught the above, they gave lots of
practice by causing distractions almost all of the time. My instrument
instructor was so bad that I flew virtually all training flights with
something "not working." The only flight that didn't have a failed
instrument was the final prep flight for the check ride. I then began to
get distracted wondering why he wasn't introducing any distractions. It
was eerie.

It sounds like you have had a rock solid learning curve that by it's very
definition, is ongoing, and will continue on with you as long as you fly.
