First thing I do is go looking for a village. Along the way I chop down a tree or two and do some hunting (wool and food). Most villages will contain a furnace, crafting table, and bookshelves. I usually take over the cobblestone tower/mini castle. I then gather a bunch of wood, make myself some auto filling animal pens, fish pond (if none is near), tree farm, and then I find where I'm going to mine. If there is no large hills or mountains close by I will use one of the other house in the village and start my stairway to bedrock. From there I branch mine making 2x2 tunnels with 1x block walls. I tend to dig in one direction until I hit the edge of the map, then turn around and dig back. Once I have the materials, I use one of the larger houses to build my enchanting room and I also place brewing stand and nether portal in the same house, with netherwarts growing in the basement.
Within a couple of hours I have everything I could possibly need and everything is in a centralized location make long trips unnecessary.

But you if you feel I was being a jerk then the only strategy I have for you
is blocking. Blocking will honestly save you a few hearts from a distant creeper explosion
As Apathy has said, survival in this game isn't too terriby tough in most cases. While I was learning the controls, I tended to stay pretty close to my initial spawn point. That way, if I did die, I was able to respawn and get back to the point where my stuff was hanging out before it would despawn.
I spend the first daylight of the game gathering: 1. wood, 2. food, 3. stone, and 4. coal (if I spot it) and 5. iron (if I'm very lucky). Then I either climb the nearest big tree I can find or dig into the side of a hill (preferred) and plant a torch and block the entrance. Then I can set about to cooking my food and crafting some better tools. If I'm dug in, I usually start mining a staircase down as far as I can get in order to search for more iron and/or diamonds (if I'm really lucky).

i will usually gather some wood, make a wooden pickaxe, gather some stone, make stone tools & torches, gather food & wool, build a small safehouse, go mining
once i have built up a decent amount of resources, i will explore, build a bigger home, build public structures, etc.
