When you get down low enough, (and slow enough), put out flaps incrementally and maybe a notch from the full setting (full is 35 or 40 degrees from memory in the 738), then arm spoilers, set autobrakes, gear down, and you're set. :)

PS: A lot of the sequence is up to you, but keeping in mind that you want to keep the aircraft relatively clean until you are reasonably close to your destination. ;)
