Hi Jas, do what I do.
Do my research early in the evening, find some objects, then as it gets darker go outside with the binocs and start scanning around identifying asterisms, groups etc for a while ( amazing what you see in binocs or even plain old eyeballs if you're patient ) then switch to the scope as you start to get adapted and also you have some mental markers to follow.
Then it's a matter of patience and averted vision and more patience.
You'll et the hang of it, just takes a bit learning and time.
Enjoy !!
