The biggest one that I always forget: don't schedule somewhere you really care about first. I make this mistake when I look because it's the place i'm really interested in that convinces me to start looking in the first place. But then I'm super rusty and do worse than everywhere else.

Yes this is very important. If possible (and people have already said this is hard), having an interview you don't care about shortly before one you do care about is a great way to warm up. Especially if it's been a while. Some time ago, I switched careers and did a bunch of temporally close interviews. Once I got going, overall I was performing as good as I could, because I'd lost a lot of the anxiety and was practiced and comfortable. Now, if I do a one-of, I'm nervous, and I'm trying to explain myself out loud for the first time, it comes out much worse.
