I think in the key that I transpose to, I found that thinking intervals made me work harder than I really need to, of course this becomes difficult when playing a piece without a tonal center, but it works well for most excerpts and such. Start slow, I used the Getchell book to get into it, every etude in a different key, then I bought the Bordogni that switches transposition every 4 measures or so, not sure if this is the one you have, but it's done wonders for me. Other than that, it's a matter of patience and keeping our brains constantly working, best of luck!
