Here's how I do mine:
1. Turn on the TV
2. Get a beer
3. Remove low string > add graphite to nut> Insert string in peg with
enough slack to the first fret.
4. Bring string to pitch, pull away from the guitar hard then bring
back to pitch. I repeat this until it stops slipping.
5. Repeat step (4) for each string.
6. Get another beer:)
Note: Having the nut cut to match the string gauge seems to really
help.
