OEM brake pads break-in procedure

I was wondering how to break-in a new set of OEM brake pads. I did a search on the net and found many ways of doing it, but what's the best method for our car?

I heard that properly breaking in new pads increases its service life and i'm very concerned with this because my last pad lasted only 13000 miles.

I'm not interrested in changing pads!!! I just want to know how you used your brakes for the break in period (i.e 200 miles).
