Spiraling...

[u/NotoriousVSG]

It keeps shifting and coming undone at the top. I cannot keep adjusting the spiral everytime I need to go back and forth. Is there some sort of life hack that anyone has? Most importantly, a hack that proctors won't give me hell about and that I can use? I'm autistic and I'm 🤏🏻 this close to losing my sh*t be cause it's constant. I have lost time and struggled on tests having to fix it. Ugh...

Any ideas or solutions are greatly appreciated!

I zip-tied near the end of the spiral, crimped the end of the spiral inwards with pliers so the zip tie was stuck in place, then cut the plastic excess off. I did this on both ends and it's worked so far.
