Instill the importance of a mastery orientation (basically, optimizing for developing skills rather than proving one’s innate ability). My 12-14 year old self had such a strong performance orientation as to consider things like mnemonics and study skills to be only for the lazy and stupid. Anyone stuck in the performance orientation won’t even be receptive to things like Anki.

This. My upbringing screwed me up horribly in this respect.
