Comment on I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there.

  But you have to memorize if that’s CW or CCW. I’d forget.

    Im think it was designed with a clock in mind. That’s why it starts with north at the 12:00 position and goes clockwise. I learned it as ‘Never Eat Soggy Waffles’ but I’m sure there are a bunch of these.

    It’s the saying i learned as a kid. I’d picture a compass and repeat the words.
