I usually use a story/timeline to remember the Vmc factors. It goes something like this...

A guy goes to the airport on a standard day. He loads the airplane to maximum gross weight, and with the most legal aft CG. He starts the engines and then taxis to the runway. He then places the flaps and cowls in the takeoff position. He takes off and brings the gear up, then departs straight out. Once at altitude he windmills the critical engine, sets takeoff power to the good engine, and banks no more than 5 degrees into the good engine.

I hope that helps a little.
