Yesterday I tried to warn a guy who was shifting lanes on top of me by repeatedly canceling my turn signals at him, he didn't seem impressed.

I agree completely. Professional drivers are like pilots in this regard. Train with the same routine every time and it becomes second nature - an automated process without the need for conscious thought.Give it time. It will become habit if you do it enough. Three steps to the turn, signal on prior to turn, turn, signal off after turn. Same with lane changes, signal on, change lane, signal off. My Goldwing does the auto-cancel thing, but I still push the signal switch to cancel it even though I don't have too. It just keeps the habit going across my "fleet".
Another thing you should be doing is scanning. Scan ahead, mirrors, and instrument panel routinely. The flashing indicator light will get your attention if you include the instrument panel in your scanning.
Or, if you want to go old school, use hand signals. Chances are you won't forget to cancel a hand signal.

Once you replace the OEM clothes dryer buzzer with a couple of real horns, you will get more than stares.
