We introduce a conceptually simple method, which is to integrate the post-Newtonian equations of motion through hundreds of orbits, and read off the values of the momenta at the separation at which we wish to start a fully general relativistic numerical evolution. For the particular case of non-spinning equal-mass inspiral with an initial coordinate separation of $D = 11M$ we show that this approach reduces the eccentricity by at least a factor of five to $e < 0.002$ as compared to using standard quasi-circular initial parameters.6 pages, 3 figures, 1 tableGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmologytext
