The psychological aspect of shooting has always fascinated me. It is easily the most underrated and least understood aspect of archery.
GCTerpFan is right. It is also what Tom Clum teaches. Your brain cannot focus on 2 things at once. You mentioned aiming methods in this thread. I think you really want to shoot however you feel comfortable, be that 3-under or split. However, if you are going to do anything, don't concentrate on aiming. Once you find your sight picture, let it go and focus your mind on your back tension. If you link your release to your aim you are doomed.
I personally get all my mechanics set before the shot. My aim/sight picture is set before the draw. As I move into anchor I check my sight picture one last time, make adjustments to it, then forget it and start my transfer to hold. Once at hold I really just focus on my scapula movement and building back tension. If I'm struggling it is often my release hand starting to slowing open my fingers and pull my hand away from my face.
A clicker is a valuable tool for building a repeatable shot process and consistency. I believe once you get used to shooting a triggered shot, you can execute an untriggered shot when you need to.
Also, the psychological aspect isn't an establish it once and forget it thing. You have to keep training it.
