Practice, practice, practice getting that consistent cheek weld every time so you don't even have to think about it as the gun comes up and the motion begins. One shot per clay, and timing is just as important as sight picture and follow through. You want to chose your moment to shoot based on when you feel most comfortable/familiar with the clay's movement. This might be at the top of the arc, as quick out of the house as you can, just as it starts to drop after cresting, etc. Start your gun far back from where you will blow it up so you can follow it to that point, pass through it, pull your trigger and keep the gun moving through the shot. Your brain will begin to recognize the right moment to pop the clay the more you shoot. Soon you will not even have to make the conscious decision, it will just be right and happen.
I have shot in the 80's with my Remington 870 20ga (what I learned on for clays) on the sporting clays course. You can shoot very well with a bird barrel on that mossy, it's just practice and good fundamentals.
