Salary.com gives a 10 tips for a better performance review in down economy. But to me, these apply to normal time as well, and they are quite important, so should share with all.
1. Know Your Role
A great place to start is a detailed list of job duties or, if it is available, an official job description, from your manager or human resources department.
2. Be "Engaged" in the Process
Be an active participant in establishing your goals from the start. Focus on key objectives and define a plan that makes sense for you and your employer.
3. Set Goals that are Reasonable and Relevant
When establishing goals, make sure they are meaningful.
4. View goals as a project plan
Make your goals your mission for the year. Keep goals current, track progress and contributions, and update goals as appropriate to reflect any changes in your role or responsibilities.
5. Document your accomplishments
Document your accomplishments along the way and let your boss know when you have reached established milestones. If you reach a stumbling block along the way, seek advice on how to best resolve the issue.
6. Show an interest in additional training
Your employer will see that you want to improve the quality of your work and are interested in professional growth.
7. Check-in
Have an open dialogue with your boss throughout the year so you have a better sense of where you stand and how your progress is being perceived.
8. Share positive feedback
Feedback from colleagues and/or customers is also valuable when you are preparing for a review.
9. Demonstrate a Positive Attitude
Try to be "likeable" in a business sense by being pleasant, respectful and courteous to colleagues.
10. Utilize Performance Review Feedback
When you get constructive feedback during a performance review, listen to it carefully and objectively.

Yes... Positive attitude is very important. Don't complain about OT and contribute as much as possible to the company.
