An adjustment technique

Who has familiarity with the following mirror adjusting technique:

For drivers side. After properly adjusting the seat for pedal and steering wheel reach, and adjusting the rear-view mirror to where without straining you get a complete and un-obstructed view out of the rear window. To adjust driver side mirror, lean your head over till it just touches the drivers side window ( window in the up position, obviously ). Then adjust the mirror till you can just view the door handles in the inner most section of the side view mirror ( your just getting a small portion of the drivers side body panels in your sight as your head rest against the window.
As for the tilt of the mirror up and down, just make sure your getting the door handles somewhere in the center inward portion. Obviously too much sky or roadway is not optimal.
As for the passenger side mirror everything is reversed but you lean to the right until your head is at the mid-point of the cabin and adjust the mirror outward till you just get the door handles into view.
