You first have the kitchen equipment, dishes, and the food on hand before you start. Second you would want to be assured of yourself so you would not panic if something slipped a minute. Finally, make the comment to do the dinner and then do it.
The following time scheduled will organize yourself so you will not be doing something twice or think you have forgotten something. Good luck.
