how do YOU work out heading correction

Hi, still doing my PPL....Ive been taught by my instructor to use the 10 degrees fan lines drawn either side of my track to estimate the heading correction required to arrive over the destination. Ive been using this method ever since.

Just been fiddling with the whizwheel, i think it might be easier and more accurate if I used that in-flight (if i become very profficient with it, and take only little time with heads 'inside the cockpit'). Accuracy would be far more improved.

I wanna see how many people use the whiz wheel or fan lines, or indeed both to cross check...and your views on each method

Thanks
