My journeyman told me to always check the panel schedule before pulling a circuit, and it saved my butt on a Reno job last week.

Honestly I just pull the dead front and look for the open breaker. Panel schedules get outdated the second they're printed on a reno. You're wasting time checking a piece of paper that's probably wrong. I trust my eyes and a tick tracer way more.

What about when you're dealing with a packed panel and everything looks normal? Your method assumes the problem is a tripped breaker, but what if it's a loose neutral or a failed connection that a tick tracer won't catch? You're skipping the basic step of verifying what circuit you're even working on.
