I always thought I was a visual learner in the way that I picture thigns in my head a lot... for instance if I'm trying to remember when some event is on, I visualise my calendar and where it's written down. But I think I do all of the things that you mentioned... I write build orders on pst it notes, I say them repeatedly over a few times, and then doing them often sticks them in my head.
However, I think the most important point there for me to remember is that losing is helpful too. I get very unmotivated when all I do is lose... I shall try and use it in a helpful way ^_^
