I have mechanical disc brakes and this is literally what I do:

Turn both adjustment knobs on the calipers all the way out.
Rip old pads out, install new pads.
Readjust knobs until the travel is right.

That's it. And when the levers get softer, I just give the knob a few clicks and I'm done. Pretty easy.
