A few quick notes
1. Have the cooked rice ready
This version calls for rice that is already cooked. Have that ready before starting the pan, and keep its amount separate from dry rice when checking what you need.
2. Keep the resting step
Leave the resting or standing step in place when planning the finish. Use that moment to get the serving things ready, and follow the method before cutting, stirring or serving.
3. Remember the turn or stir
Set a reminder for the turn or stir mentioned in the method. It is an easy small step to miss while you are getting the table ready.
