A list of the stuff you need for a trip is real smart idea.

Try to keep two fish totes...one for clean stuff and one for dirty/broken/empty.
Keep the stuff that needs attention away from the stuff does not.

Try to always dress into and out of your fishing gear in a lighted place - everything goes faster in the light. That goes for tying leaders and terminal tackle too...Korkers go on faster in the parking lot under the light than on the jetty.

Get ready first, then look at where you want to fish. If you look first and see fish breaking you're more likely to make mistakes getting ready.

Concentrate on the task at hand....the most important thing is not falling down or doing something stupid that cuts your trip short.

Ritualizing your fishing trips is a good idea - do everything the same way, each time.
