Making sure you've got drinks handy, herbal teas, coffees, waters, whatever it is you're set up. And as always, making sure you've got your, uh, clean sheet notepad, pen at the ready. Now, making sure you've got plenty of ink and you're not gonna be looking for another pen halfway through this session, set that page up at the top of the page, you're gonna write keepers.
