Josh, this is just what I do and many here will have more expert advice. I do things in twos: G & D then E & A. I change the G, loosening the D a bit if I have to to get the G string wound nicely. Then I tighten it and do the D. Again, I can loosen the G a bit if it's in the way. Once they're both tightened I do the same for the E & A.
If I'm putting on Jargars, then the thread gets back on topic. (A little joke there Josh).
