Flying after a break: regaining competence

I am about to return to flying following a break of around 18months since acquiring my PPL. I am now in a position to fly regularly and on more adventurous sorties. I have about two months before I will be getting back in the seat with an instructor to get back to a safe level of competence and will then fly through until starting the CPL course in around a year's time, a mix of instruction and solo flying.

I will be using the next two months to read up on the new ATSOCAS as well as on the technical aspects of the aircraft. My question is, can any of you who have been through this before, offer any advice on what you learned, or wished you'd spent more time brushing up on, on the ground before getting back into the air?

Many thanks to all who take the time to honestly share their experience.
