Like eating an elephant, don't try to swallow it whole, take it one bite at a time.
Go into it with a good instrument scan, practice the flows repeatedly so that you can divide your attention when there is a lot going on. The systems you will go over multiple times, in ground, on your own and with your training captain. Not to say it is lower priority, just that it is a work in progress, while scan and flows you want to nail down early.
BTW, geek moment here, MSFS has a king air, divide your torque numbers by 20, ie 70 percent for climb, 55 cruise, 40 for hold, 20 to 25 on glide slope, 15 for step downs, don't forget to bring the speed levers to low idle. Have fun.
