A few quick notes
1. Give the food its space
Arrange the food in the layer the method calls for. If you increase the portions, check the pan or basket space before cooking so you can keep that arrangement.
2. Mix the thickener as directed
The thickening step has its own little bit of preparation. Follow the mixing step before adding it, then use the consistency check in the method as you finish.
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.

The last little job
Keep the last little job in mind
The recipe finishes with this step: Serve 1 cup of meat and gravy over a toasted bun with a pineapple slice on top! Set out what you need for that finish before the cooking gets busy.
A little more help as you go
Keep the lid step in mind
Have the lid or covering ready before you need it. Follow the covered and uncovered parts of the method in their own order, especially when the finish changes partway through.
Have the sauce liquid measured
Measure the liquid before starting this sauce step. That makes it easier to follow the stirring or whisking sequence while the flour mixture is in the pan.
Match the preparation in the method
Take a look at the chopping, slicing or shaving step before bringing the parts together. Use the preparation described there so the food goes into the next stage in the form the recipe expects.
