+2 on JB's suggestion on playing to a number. I have yet to score my first birdie (came 1.5" away though last Friday), so my main goal is try to keep each hole at bogey or better. Improvements in my short game have helped with that tremendously. Also helps to have confidence (sometimes even swagger) in your putting. GIRs for me are few and far between, so GIR + 1 is my goal with the mindset of "I can make par if I 1-putt". And if I don't make par with a 1-putt, I can live with bogey by 2-putting.

Also, like flowrider, I'm currently reading Rotella's book. Definitely recommended- plenty of cheap copies on eBay for about $9 or less.
