Deeply study some openings. Know these openings really well.

Be sure to analyze your losses, and learn from your mistakes.

Study tactics every day. Set the position up on the chessboard to increase visualization.
Read chess books. Play the variations out on the chessboard.

What do you do to prepare for an over-the-board tournament? I play or study chess in the vast majority of my free time, but I would like to know if there is a specific thing I should be focusing on when I have a tournament coming up.
