Your opponents will get many more nets and edges if you persist in this.

I suggest 100 copies of rule 88 as penitence.

When I was much much younger and more foolish I actually played a few matches when very stoned.
My play was dreadful and I really lacked any enthusiasm to compete and play hard. I just did not give a Sh*t!!

Lots of matches is the ansa play often

Probably mentioned, but showing up early to get a good warmup is basic but I think very important to get you mentally focused and prepared. I think I read a practice match is good, I would fully agree as I always think I play my worst on the first match I have in a tournament.

One plays best when one plays without giving a Sh*t! It is the highest level of enlightenment one can attain.
