To be brutally honest you are knackard untill you get some time under your belt and things get auto

The best thing I can advise is just keep thinking to youself whats next, whats next, Anything you can do now do it. When you get to the point that your waiting for the aircraft to get to a point when it triggers the next thing you have it nearly.

Thats for 100% normal trips as soon as someone throws you a special you will be instantly over loaded there isn't alot you can do about it.

the real trick to be honest is to realise that you will mess it up and then learn and move on.

The biggest hint though is trim the sodding aircraft and let it fly itself. Finger tips don't use your whole hand on the controls and don't chase needals just hold the attitude. Once your trimmed out you can just lightly cover the stick while doing admin to show willing.
