Brief the flight, prepare the flight, and address risks to the flight, in order to get the most out of the flight and to stack the odds in favor of the flight coming off as "routine" regardless of how much effort it takes to make it look that easy.
Oh how many mishaps I have investigated where the real "slice of cheese" at the heart of causation was a poor or non-existent pre-flight preparation and briefing.
On that subject, our crusty old safety officer in primary flight training (WWII, Korea, just back from VN) said, "No flight should be considered
routine until you are giving the post flight debriefing. Otherwise, you are setting yourself up for a mishap."
