Start engine, lights on as required, adjust heating and ventilation for conditions, radio on and tuned as appropriate, seat belt on and move off.
From 1989 until 2013 I had a hydropneumaticaly suspended Citroen so the stuff from start engine to move off also incorporated waiting for the car's ride height to settle.
Seriously though, giving the engine time to settle and oil pressure to stabilise is still good today.
