Happy to have served ... ;-) I don't think how I learned to focus this was quite as methodical as the exercise I posted, but when you try to write it down for other people to use and benefit, it comes across that way. My first reflex camera was a 1949 Rolleiflex TLR with a mirror that badly needed resurfacing and a plain groundglass focusing screen ... not even matte fresnel like nearly anything made after 1957 had. Learning to focus accurately with it was a chore. Made my next reflex camera, the Nikon F Photomic FTn with A screen, seem like heaven after that!
