How do you know when your are ready?

Online solving 4 tactics puzzles is a good warm-up.
Over the board the good warm-up is to think about the first opening moves, as if you do not know, just to get into a state of concentration.

I'm still figuring out what might work for me. Coffee, some puzzles, and some meditating seems like the minimum for me.

I must reach a state of oneness with the chessboard.

Usually some puzzles and a game or two against the computer. I will never know if I am ready or not.

The simple warmup is solve a few puzzles. As a veteran chess player I don't do warmup.
