I'm just going to pop in, say my bit, and then leave before things heat up!
Use the kitchen table as your runway, and 'fly' your circuit around it. Literally stand up and walk around it - see where it is (including piano keys etc.) from each point on your circuit and how it looks (over which shoulder, what sort of angle etc.). You'll be amazed how that basic bit of situational awareness 'training' will make things easier in the air.
Okay, you'll look a right t**t doing it, but who cares!

On your kitchen circuit, also do your checks (er, whatever they are), your radio calls, what heading will you need for what course, etc. etc.

Reason: added the checks etc.
