I agree with all of these tips except for seven.  I know a lot of people say to use mnemonics to help remember characters, but with thousands of common characters to memorize, you'd need to build up just as many stories in your head for the characters.  Wouldn't that just be really confusing?  Well, that's how I see it.

4 and 5 are certainly true, and in my opinion the most important. It can take a lot of effort on your part to actually do it, but if you never do then you will never attain a high degree of fluency, if any at all! Pretty much all of those are good though. I must admit I have been a bit slacking with the tones.
