Eric,
Part of being prepared is laying out the directions and expectatations for the day. Students will respond to instructions and guidence (in fact they need it) about how and what to do. When we are prepared, we can lay out the expectations for the day and then the course is laid for being carried out, methodically, transitioning between topic point after topic point. This can't happen automatically, it requires time, efoort, and planning to make it happen.
