I've heard that Josh Wink used to practice beat matching without headphones by listening to the sound the needle makes on the record.

Fool around with your gear and get comfortable, have a cocktail

AND TAKE NOTES.

writing shit down helps

Write shit down? It's mixing FFS, not rocket science.

Just play.

Well, if you don't try, you'll certainly won't get any better.

Playing around with different (or just plain weird) techniques definately improves your skills. If not, you can atleast say you had fun trying.

Play around, go crazy. Even if it doesn't get better, it won't get any worse...

record yourself

i try to record at least a 2 hour mix every week

best way to learn flow and programming imo

this is after you get beatmatching down though... not before!
