How do you set your intentions when using physical objects/tools?

Well it’s more like I want to hear others opinions but ykwim. I’m probably intermediate, like I’m definitely not a pro, but I’ve been studying it for five years and I know how to do all the basics! I was wondering if you guys set your intentions into your tools all at once or one tool at a time. Like setting intentions in an herb before it’s used or do all the herbs you want to use for your spell all at once. I was also wanting to know other’s ways of setting intentions into tools, I struggle with visualization so thinking about it is rather difficult. I want to hear anybody and everybody’s opinions so if you’re comfy sharing please do! Happy strawberry moon, safe spellcasting!😋
