Anticipation -- help or hindrance?

One thing in common with many/most of my oversights: I anticipate a particular roll or even single die I'd like to see (e.g. that makes a certain point). When that 'wish' comes to fruition I make the play without looking for better alternatives.

So, is my solution to avoid anticipation? Or should I do a better job anticipating? Or simply keep my eyes open even after I get the roll I was hoping for?

Another thing which I constantly suffer from is a lack of a wide angle view of the board. (Not true on a computer screen, but over a real board.) Related to that is comfort/familiarity or even conditioning (is your game "in shape"?) You see the board (and thus more likely to see candidates) better when you're comfortable with your surroundings AND when you've been playing a fair amount over a real board -- that's what I mean (at least partially) by "in shape".
