As a person who flies IFR into an uncontrolled airport regularly, I can monitor the unicom well before I enter the control zone, while still on centre and if everybody is communicating properly, I pretty much know where to look for traffic.

I have noticed as one gets older you tend to have more medical and dental appointmens. This should be taken under consideration when flight planning to account for weather.

TSB report a17Q0030 midair report. Interesting read.
