Adhesives have become quite specific and finding the right one makes the job much less stressful. Topps Tiles do BAL products and depending on your use case the ready mixed make things much easier if you're new to the job. Just makes one part of the movable shitfest bearable.
There are lots of well specified trowels with different size notches and information should be available to find out what best suits your application.
Those 2 things have made the biggest differences to my tiling jobs. I avoid it now because it kills my hands but I used to get a lot of different tiling jobs and planning every detail in terms of layout is highly recommended. There's almost always a compromise in terms of finish. Plan how you want the tile cuts, in the corner or at the edges. Account for plug sockets slowing things down a lot.
You will not want to have to pop out for more adhesive half-way through either.
