A few quick notes
1. Stop mixing at the stated point
Keep an eye on the mixing instruction as you work. Once the mixture reaches the point described in the recipe, move on to the next step instead of giving it extra mixing out of habit.
2. Get the oven ready first
Start with the oven-preheating step in the recipe. Then use the preparation steps that follow to get the food ready for the hot oven.
3. Keep the mixtures separate until their step
The method prepares more than one mixture before bringing them together. Set out the separate bowls or containers it calls for, then combine them at the stated step.
