It took me 4 in car adjustments to get the time down to something reasonable. This is how I do it with feeler gauge now:
1. I sketch the position of the valve adjustment screw for the cylinder I'm on firstly.
2. Then I'll try and fit the feeler gauge, if it doesn't go in fairly quickly I stop (this is the time waster otherwise).
3. I'll loosen the nut and unscrew by a turn and pull up pretty hard on the rocker, sometimes it seems like it sticks.
4. Then slip in the feeler gauge.
5. Tighten the adjuster by hand till it toucher the feeler, the adjuster is roughly back where it was before you started. We know that one turn of the adjuster is 1mm, so you can judge the adjustment needed.
6. Try feeler.
7. Tighten with feeler still in.
8. Try feeler while it's still in.
Since it's tough to see, I use the endoscope to see the feeler is sitting correctly and all the way across before moving to the next cylinder. With experience I doubt this will be needed.
End.
