WhySoTough,

The way my instructor / examiner used to get the point across to me : on a piece of paper, draw a small inverted triangle. You are at the pointy bottom end and projecting your awareness forward within the confines of the small triangle. You are now at a stage when you are not projecting yourself far enough ahead, so very quickly you fall behind the aircraft.

Now draw a larger triangle from your pointy end and widen the sides. Here you are projecting yourself ahead more and widening your awareness of what's coming ahead.
You need to think about "what's next" all the time and know in advance exactly what will happen before it actually happens.

As some posters say, it doesn't happen overnight. It takes practice and, above all, confidence in what you are doing. Work hard at it and I promise you it will yield good results.
