Another point I've found useful which relates to the last sentence of your point 5 "No game plan survives the first encounter with your players." is:
Don't over complicate things, the players will do that for you.

For a 4 hour session, plan 2 hours worth of scenes/action, and the players will find a way to add the extra 2 hours of complications.

I can't remember where I first read that, might have been: Robin's Laws of Good Game Mastering.
