Reed Sanding

I have read many YouTube videos about reed sanding for preparation but none seem to say if this is routine every playing session or only if problem or reed performs badly. These involve rubbing on a masonite clipboard to seal and polish, to sanding flat side with 220 to 600 or 1000 grit wet or dry. Seems like every time would be a bit much especially if no trouble. I would say only do if reed performs less well in one or two sessions, and was wondering if others agree. If reed is bad, stuffy, adn squawks I have found it helps but also found in some cases mouth and lips need tightening or fingering improved. Dont believe it is all in the need to sand. I play on 2 or 3 of 29 reeds each day until I go through all then repeat cycle. And keep notes on each, as one video suggested.
