7. Memorize the 41 case algorithms and be able to execute them from all angles (How did I forget to add this?)
8. If you're aiming to be color neutral, practice solving the cross and the F2L for all sides. If you're aiming to be opposite color neutral, practice solving the cross and F2L for two opposite colors (like white and yellow).
9. Use a cube with an unstickered LL specifically for F2L practice.
Anything else I missed?
This might be considered a bit more advanced, but practice solving not only the cross but also the 2x2x2 block. This might lead to you learning that you like Petrus F2L, or Petrich (2x2x2, followed by the other 2 cross pieces, followed by F2L) or Xcross.

I think that it may be a little counter productive to use a cube with no last layer stickers, because when you are doing f2l on a normal cube you have more edges/corners to look for.
