    Try thinking of a clock. Most screws get tighter when turned clockwise. When time moves forward, your schedule gets tighter. Like the screw.

    I’m not sure it’ll help, but since it’s a rotational reference for a rotational target, maybe it’ll help.

    Personally I’m constantly drawing circles with my finger like a clock hand and then positioning my hand to face the screw while still drawing circles. It helps a lot.

      The problem is the mnemonic everyone uses doesn’t use rotational motion. Maybe we need an actual rotational motion mnemonic. Maybe “clockwise screw wise” would work

      I could never remember how screws worked until physics and the right hand rule.
