Fortunately, there is a simple way to make things appear a lot more organized without having to declutter your home, and it's called the straight-line technique ... they don't draw attention ...

Draw the graph of \(y = 3x - 1\). If you recognise this as a straight line then just choose two ‘easy’ values of \(x\), work out the corresponding values of \(y\) and plot those points.

When you're pressing a combo square along a piece of wood and pressing a pencil into the combo square, it's easy for those ... the wood as you draw a perfectly straight line.
