Thanks for all of the responses, and thanks especially for the several of which were helpful and related to my original question :) I've had a good couple of weeks to try things out since my original posting, and I thought I would just amend my original post with a solution that I've found to be helpful, something I call "Unit Testing the Brain" [1]: basically, I've created a text file where I put structured questions that help me practice new techniques as I encounter them in my day-to-day work. Having this text file keeps all of my "tricks" together so that I can practice them on a daily basis.
