my premarket checklist, and the one step i keep skipping

Up at 4:30 most days. Not bragging, my dog decides it, not me. Routine as it stands: - coffee, no screens for the first ten minutes - read overnight notes from the day before (what I said I'd do differently) - scan my watchlist, cut it down to five names max - write the levels down on paper before any automation is armed - set alerts, then walk away until the open The part I keep skipping: the sizing check. I have a line in my checklist that says "confirm risk per position matches the plan, not the mood" and I'd say I actually do it maybe half the time. When I skip it it's always because I'm rushing to be ready before the bell, like being late is somehow worse than being wrong. What I've noticed: - the skipped days aren't necessarily losing days, they're just louder - I check the screen more on those days - I override my own rules more on those days So it's less a money problem and more a behaviour problem, at least so far. Questions for people with longer routines than mine: - do you gate the automation behind the checklist somehow, or is it honour system? - if you've moved a step earlier in the routine to stop skipping it, did that actually work or did the skip just move too? Curious whether the fix is discipline or design. I suspect design.
