B738 Descent Planning

Hi all,
I am a third of the way through my line training on the B738. Rotations, landings and everything else is improving the whole time and the LTC's are happy but one thing that is bothering me is descent planning. I just find it a small bit complicated and I would just like to know how other pilots do it. How do I use VNAV, LVL CHG, speedbrake etc to get a good profile while saving a bit of fuel and time as well? I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks.
