First Time
I just put on my tfillin by myself for the first time. And now my left hand smells like leather- does that always happen, or just until the tfillin wear in? (What's the singular of tfillin, anyways?)
The actual experience was pretty neat, if a bit distracting from teh rest of praying, since it was new. But when I got them on, it had that same feeling of Rightness that I got the first time I saw people really putting them on (versus the biannual demonstration the rabbi gives to the 6th and 7th grades at the hebrew school I went to). It'll take some practice, but I'm pretty happy with step one.

I found for the first year or so it was inevitable that I had to stop and adjust the fit on my arm somewhere in the middle of the davening. Just stop adjust and then go on with your davening.
Oh on Rosh Chodesh, remember to take them off before musaf.
