Whatever you got, it probably has a memory slot or two on the dial. 5DMkIIs, for example, have a P1, a P2, and a P3.

Build presets that work for each of the things you do a lot of. Example: exteriors, interiors, night.

At the start of every shoot, make sure you've got a preset selected. Take a picture. Look at it. Does it suck? If yes, try another preset. If no, stick with that preset.

That will get you started. Every. Goddamn. Day. You can experiment beyond that but you know that you started out in a functional place.

(this shit was a lot harder back when we shot film)
