The same drill for any flavor of drivetrain:

From the NDS rotate Strong side (my right) pedal parallel to ground.
Straddle the bike and lock the front brake
Clip-in strong side foot
Look where you want the bike to go, not at the pedals
Release front brake, push down strong side pedal & lever onto saddle in one motion
Clip in weak side pedal as it comes around w/o looking
Proceed
