Get ATIS/Clearance and program GPS while engine warms
Taxi to "secluded" point on FBO ramp and point tail appropriately (blast fence w/no aircraft parked behind me
Runup
Taxi to edge of FBO ramp and contact ground.

Nothing wrong with it that I can see. Different strokes and all that...
Only think I'd add is when contacting ground, at least at those few airports where you do not switch to Tower yourself before takeoff, let them know you'll be ready to go when you reach the runway and won't need a run-up.
