Power, attitude, trim....Fine, but you have to settle your power and attitude first, all to easy to 'hunt' the power and attitude, i.e you increase power, or decrease power and attitude before you allow it to stabilise, once stabilised, trim to maintain. If in turbulence, then just adjust as necessary using the stick (or yoke), if it's heavy turbulence, let it ride, just keep your wings level and watch your airspeed.
