At least after a couple of hundred goes your hand just does it, surprisingly accurately as well.
As I’ve said before we do not and never did operate anything else than CFM over the past 30 years on our 320f fleet, I just happened to be in a IAE sim for other reasons but as others have confirmed below the correct way of setting the required amount of thrust on the IAE does not need any “tricks”.
