How to start the day before playing chess.

I was just wondering what other people do before they start playing chess, either OTB or online. I feel like there are some days where my game is on point and my rating goes on chess.com and other days I'm don't have a single win and I make simple mistakes. Even if I take a break and do some puzzles or do a few  things on chessable or on chess.com.

Before a tournament I try not to do too much chess, because I don’t want to exhaust my brain before I even start the first game. I might warm up with puzzles. I caffeinate myself and I’m ready to go.

So I think the answer is your drink. Either coffee or vodka.
