Walk around your room as you get dinner ready reciting random profiles to ensure you have them down. Dorky? Yes. Helpful though.
If you’re able to word vomit all of that without thinking too hard, you’ll free brain cells for the flying which you will need especially for v1 cuts and single engine missed approaches. Pull up the approaches the night before and use that nifty green pencil (on the right side) to highlight the things you’ll brief and go over that a few times. Kills two birds with one stone: have them ready for the next session and you’ve already gone over them.
Sleep.

And it's completely permitted by the training department. (I'm absolutely serious).

I always bounced a tennis ball off the wall when going over call outs. You have to concentrate on catching a ball at the same time you are trying to remember callouts. It’s making your brain work double time in a semi stressful situation. Just an idea

I do remember going for 4-mile runs outside the ATL Drury Inn (what a miserable place) while reciting over and over, 'missed approach, go around thrust, flaps 8, positive rate, gear up, speed mode, nav mode, bug V2, half bank on'...
(And yes I realize those calls are from both the PF and PM. Just helped me to remember...)
