1) At the half way point your nose wheel should be off the runway. You want it just off the strip to reduce drag and not to high that the wings are slowing you down.
2) You can feel the aircraft start to lift slightly as it's almost ready to lift off. You want this by the time you are 1/2 to 3/4 of the way down. This should give you enough time to get the aircraft off into ground effect and climb out to avoid the obstacles.
3) Winds are extremely important, take-off into wind whenever able as this will greatly reduce the ground roll.
4) Strip condition - again if there is a soft end, take-off from the hard surface first as there is less resistance and you will be able to gain more speed in less time.
5) If you know it's going to be tight, back track the entire runway and at the end when you turn around, ensure you have full power as you finish the turn. This will sling shot you down the runway as you are carrying momentum around the turn. Take note, if you are flying a single engine Cessna, make a left turn at the end. You will be using the asymmetric thrust to your advantage.
