And brush your teeth! The lizard breath opening is NOT a way to make friends in chess 
But it is a way to scare opponents away ;)
What works for me is getting my body moving and getting pumped up. Another thing: don't spectate others games as much, it can distract you. Only maybe once in a while, but not by looking at one every move. Also, drinking water and getting up to walk around/go to the bathroom and splash water on your face to keep you up works too. Above all, dont try too hard to the point that you mess up. Good luck!
Stay calm,don't panic,look at all the options,keep your hands away from the submit button for a good few minutes and then victory is yours...hopefully!

Make sure you have a spare queen in your pocket!
Great advice guys I'm the kind of guy that already thinks he can win at least 3rd and thinks critically, always looking for good tactic and making a good plan

Unlike online chess, OTB has no submit button. However, it requires to hit a button to stop running of your time. One of my OTB tournaments, I fogot to hit a button to stop my time as soon as I made a move. My opponent didn't tell me about that. He take an advantage of this, and didn't make his move until I found that I didn't hit a clock after I made a move. He used my time to think of his move. I was in serious time trouble. As a result, I lost a game. That was one of my worst OTB experinces.
Good one, I just hate to take advantage like that, but when money is on the line... Welllllll >.>
I've never used a chess clock before any other tips about chess clocks besides make sure to hit the stop button
