The very basics:

1. Sit comfortably

2. Tighten the bow

3. Position your cello

4. Tune

Then, we get into the practice.

I suggest here that you can do the following:

1. Warm up each hand separately

2. Play open strings

3. Gliss a little

4. Focus on a section in your book (if you have one)

5. Play scales

The amount of time spent on each step is up to you.
