Thanks again all. Several people talk about chopping or adjusting the power during the process. I almost always have the power at idle early in the process, usually as I cross the threshold, sometimes even before that. I think that puts me under unnecessary pressure to put it down now. I will try delaying that final power chop, and flying down the runway for a few 100 feet to change my mentality from
land now to
land eventually! I hope that will allow me to change my perspective, switch focus to the middle distance and land later as you guys all suggest.

What sorted my landings was being passed to an excellent instructor, who figured oou what I was doing wrong, but, instead of telling me what I was doing wrong, gave me instructions on doing it right.
That's me too! I have to do it myself!
Flying this afternoon! Will report back!
