Are you asking for some?

I would say studying would help, and also just taking one at a time, when you need to use them.

A few random things from the CDs that I used as well as some brain organization I've used to help me remember. I don't know if they are helpful because everyone thinks differently, but these have helped me.

You can remember that the present tense for Yo is o, because Yo ends in o.

The preterite ending for you informal (tu) contains te = aste, iste

The letter e is used for yo in the preterite (unless it's a er/ir verb) as well as the future. The future for nosotros includes yo as well (me and other people), so again you have the e, with the addition of mos, hence emos.

For yo ar verbs, the preterite has the same endings as the future, except the future uses the infinitive (the whole verb with ar/er/ir endings)

I'll add others later when I remember them.
