An article that helped me with the short game, I forgot where I read it, was pitching by the clock.

If you assume straight towards the sky is 12 o'clock and 6 is straight down, 9'oclock a 1/2 siwng, etc. It helps gauge the amount of backswing for the shots distance. Also I find it can help to actually say the time on the clock you want to swing to as you swing. For instance, I know with a GW a 1/2 swing goes about 30yds. So I say 9(backswing) - o'(the essential pause at the top of the swing) - clock (throughswing).

It's helped me save par a few times when I miss the green.
