Man's greatest power is the capacity to direct attention. If you created it you can change it; otherwise, forget it.

Similarly, make it a general rule to know if another driver is camped out in your blind spot.

Develop standards for myself like:
Check my gear the night before a match.
When I arrive at a stage. Fill my belt with FULL mags..... Forgot about that on Tuesday night.
Do my part to move things along
At the end of a stage, never put half empty mags back on my belt. They go in my pocket or bullet bag for refill.
Watch my buddies shoot and congratulate them or give 'em hell for stupid mistakes.
Watch the best shooters shoot and try and pick up on something to copy.
Don't expect to get ALL of my brass back..........why get PO'd when I don't.
After I clean my gun, check all the screws for tightness.....that way my mag button won't fall off AGAIN into the dirt....in the dark.

Make it a general rule to...
To not block a side street or driveway when you are in traffic.
Use your rear view mirror. If you are in the left lane, and there is someone behind you, and the middle/right lane is free, move over....I don't care how fast you are going...they want to go faster...let them!
Paste and set steel. It's not "appreciated" by your squad mates, it's expected.

Shooting related- Always be ready to shoot! As soon as you run a stage don't do anything else until you are ready to shoot again.
