OCD Habits

I know I'm not the only one who has their "lucky" rituals or ocd quirks they have to do when practicing or performing the clarinet. Anyone want to share their habits, such as saving lucky reeds, playing pieces a certain number of times, etc?

Here's mine: I've never thrown away any of my reeds (I keep them in a box), before All State tryouts, I have to practice the etudes three times (or multiples of three, like 6 or 9), and I have to swab my clarinet nine times before I put it away. Oh, and sometimes when I'm feeling really nervous, I have to touch each section of my horn once for good luck. Lastly, I always sign up to try out 2nd for All State tryouts.

Any rituals you wish to share?
