Do you have a small routine before starting work?

Do you have a small routine before starting work? like testing your meter twice or cleaning your tools every morning? cutting a spare wire? flipping your screwdriver? having a chug of coffee?
 
Job One: Verifying the hot gloves & sticks.
Job Two: Verifying the testers
Job Three: Break Time!
 
Coffee first, always. Then I tug every tool in the pouch just to make sure nothing wandered off since yesterday. After that I do a quick meter check on a spare outlet. Takes two minutes but it saves headaches later.
