Yes that's what I am trying to do. I don't know if there are any other tips?
Some people say they "are not so hard on the brakes". I don't get that? Are they braking less than I am? And if so how do they get rid of the speed?
I think I will go with the XP10. And might try with ABS off, to really reveal how I am braking. Maybe I am more into ABS than I think I am.

The reason i went for CL instead of Carbotech is that they don't require any special bedding and my rotors where almost new, they also work in a different way than most pads out there and you don't need to build a layer of pad material on the disc, so i don't have to worry about destroying that layer on a daily drive.

That's not my experience with the RC5+. There is definitely a transfer layer. When bedding them or after a track day they were super quiet. After some time driving normally they would start to squeal at low speed stops (indicating the transfer layer was disappearing). After a few hard stop they would be quiet again. The squeal was minimal and not annoying though.
Edit:
They might not
need a transfer layer, just wanted to say that they certainly build one.
Also written about the RC5+:
"If you do happen to push it over its temperature threshold, bite slowly tapers away rather than falling off a cliff, so you’ll easily recognize when it’s time to back off. It’s extremely wear resistant, and
doesn’t destroy rotors with pad deposits when pushed to their temperature envelope.
Let's say I have a different experience with that too.
