I tend to be pretty well-prepared but occasionally I will have not thought ahead about consumables or whatever and totally agree that it causes stress when I try to handle these things with a session looming.
Planning and preparation are important because it shows professionalism. The syllabus outlines the course, the objectives and helps the students understand their expectations and outcomes in a clear way. Textbooks are reference guides for the students as they learn.
I like to be prepared and organized before making a presentation. Research on topic done, sequence of course content, able to give interesting examples, etc. I always feel much more confident when I know what I'm talking about. I find it easier to explain something if I have learned it myself.

The perception of being a prepared and thus competent instructor takes many, consistent small efforts and quite a bit of forethought. To be perceived as disorganized and thus an instructor of lower quality is more easily attained in the eyes of the students, because they have their bar set low to begin with for the most part. Consistent planning well before your given class time, beginning class on time, having your materials ready, not fumbling about with your slides or attendance sheets goes a long way to gaining the trust of your students.
Prepare the check-list, think about what students expect from you, study, look for a new examples, study materials, get a feeling of a classroom before lecturing..
