Most of the OE Captains operate the way OA (Hi, by the way) explains.
Hi..

Good. The workload is completely different on the line after x sim sessions where you hair is on fire and you are running out of fuel. In some ways, it begins to seem as if NOTHING is really happening. And you keep waiting for that 'click' that means something just got programmed into the sim and all hell is about to break loose.

I broke a 30 minute turn this way:
As soon as the securing check is done, go preflight prior to all the pax getting off the plane
Come up front, and start getting the W&B form started
Get the ATIS
If the CA is upfront, get the clearance
Do your setup flow
Departure Brief
Before Start checklist
Pacing and workload. Good advice.
