How many of you "clip-in" first time?

How many of you clip into the pedals first time - both feet?

Any tips for finding the sweet spot?

Thanks.

Do you mean the first time ever?or after ridding a couple of days practising clipping and uncliping.
after a couple of weeks you should be cliping your feet into the pedals first time without looking down at your pedals.
Make sure the cleat clips and unclips smothlly,adjust your tension on the clipin
practise centering your cleat on the pedal in the correct position,so you clip in with a slight downward push.

Both feet? I typically have one foot clipped before starting (or leave it clipped in at a brief stop) and only have to worry about the other.

What kind of pedals? I used to have double-sided MTB pedals that were *very* easy to enter, but my road pedals (still SPD) are a little tougher.
