Locate the Pole Star. That's it.
You can do that by-
Finding out the general GPS coordinates(the first two digits) of the area u live it, eg. North India it's between 20 to 30degrees North and Jaipur is 26North, 75East or 26N75E.
This means the Pole Star is 26degrees over the horizon (ground level) (forget the East part)
To get an idea of how much is 10degrees, close u hand into a fist and raise it to your eye level, and stretch out your arm as much as you can.
The area that gets covered by all the knuckles is 10degrees (Field of View)
Generally the Pole Star is just above the tree-top level or 3fists above the ground level, on a terrace of a building, the place you standing is considered to be the ground level.
An easier way is to locate the constellation Big Dipper or the "cooking pot with handle" looking bunch of 7 bright stars, (never on top of ur head) always in the Northern Hemisphere.
The two stars at the edge of the pot/dipper point towards the Pole Star.
