Any top tips for Instrument Approaches?

Currently training for an FAA IR. One of the (many) challenges I have is retaining the amount of information required for an instrument approach.

I''m pretty numerate but have a poor short-term memory, so trying to self-brief the approach plate and then remember "at x.x miles descend to yy feet, att z.z miles descend to aa feet, at bb miles and cc feet go missed or land, for the missed approach climb to 1,000ft then turn to 123 degrees and intersect the 345 degree radial" etc etc whilst at the same time flying the aircraft on instruments is proving to be difficult.

Has anyone else had the same problem, and / or does anyone have any top tips about how to remember / assimilate the data so that you can focus on flying the aircraft?

Thanks
