Do you have any?
My sporting foibles know no bounds- I have to put every item of left gear on first (pads, gloves, shoes, socks), I HAVE to get my guard at the crease FIRST time. And if I see a charity collector on match day I HAVE to give to them. I never shave during a match, even if a 3 dayer. (this is from rugby when shaving on match day results in sores and abrasions everywhere on your face). As an opening bat I always take 2nd strike. (because I want to get aclimatised and also, one over of a new ball takes 25% of the hardness out of it)
I also never ever use the word concentrate in my head when batting.
But in guitars, i am the same.
I always carry a pick, wherever I go.
When watching a film on TV I have to have a guitar visible.
I have a thing about straps and each of my guitars has a strap it 'owns' and if I put that strap on another guitar it's bad luck
And, playing live I always play on left hand side (stage right from audience)
What are yours? I'm sure there are loads....

It came to a head when he was waiting to bat in a test match and went to the loo. When he was in there, his teammates gaffer taped his bat to the dressing room ceiling. When he went in, he was fuming and walked out ripping the gaffer tape off the bat. Anyway, he scored 158.
Next innings, he was waiting to bat, and his teammates realised....he'd gaffer taped his OWN bat to the ceiling for 'good luck' as clearly that's why he got his 158.

Sportswise
Left leg is shorts first

Guitarwise
spare pick is arse pocket (always know where it is)
pick tin, strap, trem arm and tuner always in the case pocket
Tools

everything HAS to be in a specific place (drawer)
spanners/sockets in size order
mind it does make things easy to know where everything you want/need is
