A rigger in Philly told me to always look at the hook before the load

We were setting a 15-ton AC unit on a tight roof, and I was focused on the load chart. He pointed at the hook block and said, 'Your eyes go there first, every lift. If that's wrong, nothing else matters.' It was a simple thing, but I do it now before every pick. Anyone else have a small check they do that became automatic?

That seems like a great way to miss something else important.

Totally, I've done that before and it's a real pain.
