One thing I've been hearing is the advice to fly the approach you're going
to use in your mind BEFORE your even take off. That way, good weather or
bad, there's no surprises under pressure.

How many people just pull out the chart and go at it, then wind up falling
behind when a turn sneaks up on you?

One thing my instructor told me was that he uses his flight sim
software to fly the planned approach and his alternates before leaving
for an IFR flight. He's got ~8000 hours. I think it's an excellent
idea and a great use of flight sim software.
