Just out of interest, how much effort are you putting into flying? Is the aircraft doing what you want? The reason I ask is that if you have been shown the magic numbers to make your life easier. Approaching the end of your downwind leg you select something like, but please don't quote me, 1,700 RPM, one click of flaps and TRIM. The aircraft should be flying itself, nicely decelerating to 65 kts or so. On base leg you should just be there looking at the view working out when to turn finals and possibly even looking for the windsock. Once on finals you will thinking about lowering more flap and reducing to approach speed. At the same time a good squizz outside should tell you if you are drifting to the left or right of the centreline. Correct as necessary. Wait. Correct etc. This is one if those times when less is more.
Best of luck.
