I need to remember that when lifting the bokken and slicing it towards uke while uke has a one handed grip between my hands, I have to slice the bokken above uke's head not lower which is what I usually do. That way it will feel lighter and uke will overbalance more easily. Sensei came around to demonstrate for me and for once I got what he meant immediately.
My ushiro techniques need a lot of practice. Particularly the shihonage from ushiro where I need to remember that it's like an ai-han me shihonage. Will take lots more times before that gets imprinted into my muscle memory as I'm still stopping to think about it.
