Sounds like anchoring. Other more knowledgeable folk will respond soon. You'll probably hear that anchoring is fine for getting into the state appropriate for different activities. Then you'll hear that for memory that anchoring is an unwanted crutch. Anchoring to external thing could make for heavey going and the need for big pockets.
Maybe someone has ideas on how it might help as a stepping stone to spontaneous activation. Yoda would probably say "Do or don't do, there is no trying"... or was that the guy form Karate Kid.
