Mixing:
1. Acoustics: test and treat your monitoring environment as much as possible
2. Use your ears only (close your eyes, compare using good reference material)
3. Test on multiple systems/scenarios, taking notes, tweak and try multiple mixes
Producing:
1. all the same things as mixing
2. Experiment with mic placement and compare using ears only
3. Also try sitting back and only call the shots. let someone else fiddle with knobs and other technical stuff. Some of us can get into details so much that hearing the whole and being objective is almost impossible.
