he told me to watch what I was doing

My comment:

for a less formal alternative - it all depends on the character and personality of the speaker - so only you can tell really Barbara. Further alternatives would include 'he told me to mind what I was doing' / 'he told me to mind out' / 'He told me to keep my mind on the road' etc.
