I try to start by doing something not online, like walking somewhere to get breakfast and/or working on an essay. When I do sit down in front of a computer, I check HN first, then Gmail. (I'd probably check Gmail first if I weren't the one who had to fix HN if the site was wedged.)
HN and Gmail are the only sites I use regularly. I check the frontpage of Reddit about once every three days, usually when I'm watching HN restart after I've changed something.
