IMO I would say that you need to practice any exercises that you are not comfortable with, to take for example the EASA PPL-H as a template with the aim of being able to do all the exercises to a good standard.

Practice those on your own that are safe to do so, take an instructor with you for those that require their input (autorotations for example)

If you give yourself some structure for your remaining hours rather than just fly from airfield to airfield, you will have no problems later.

should you wish to do an instructor course for example where the aim is to teach you to teach, not to rebrief you how to fly, you would be glad you did all this, but even for CPL the philosophy is the same I think.
