Prepare smarter, not harder
I have definitely made mistake no. 1 several times!
I made that mistake in October in Thailand—hopefully I have learnt my lesson now. :-)
Was a criminal offender of #4 in my mid-to-late teens. Took many games to realize I would've been fresher and less nervous at the board had I kept prep to a minimum.
Good that you've broken that habit already—I was doing it at Doeberl last year! Even against an opponent who plays everything.
