Many many years ago you could buy plastic rules which clipped to the VOR on your map, using two VOR and two rules you could find your position in a few seconds with one hand and one eye

In training my instructor would take hold of the control column while I planned the diversion but in the skills test I had no such luxury. As a result I started from the wrong point, veered off course got lost and failed.

Does anyone have any tips on how to plan the diversion without getting disorientated in the process?
