change things

“ … to change things.” Yes, but there is no need to go to the extreme of physical change.
Change your thinking behaviour; treat each flight differently, which it will be if you look at the ‘important’ things. So first think about what is important, what do you know, not know, and why.
The weather, weight, speeds, power setting, people, the environment, situation, and context; look for the differences, or the changes from the norm, these are the areas which breed incidents and accidents.
There are no ‘standard’ briefings; procedures might be standard (SOPs), but the situation and thus the application of the procedure will be different.
Don’t forget to debrief the differences – to remember them - so they become the basis for the next comparison – during the next briefing. What was good, bad, or indifferent? The latter are usually the interesting aspects, and it is interest that fends off complacency.
