When I was flying GA, as part of my routine when lined up at the end of the runway ready to take off I repeating out loud what I would do in the case of engine failure after take off (which generally involved the words "land straight ahead if less than **feet"). A practice installed in me by Gerry Breen in my microlight days.
It was good practice in the microlight and good for GA as well.
Fortunately I never had to use it but still said it every time I took off.
