Two games to help you lose track of time
- The Short-Time Guessing Game: Set the timer for two minutes. Check it when you think it’s been 30 seconds and again at 90 seconds. Repeat until you can always get fairly close to the end goal.
- Longer time guessing game: For your next few activities, write your estimate of how long you think each task will take. Keep playing that guessing game until your estimates are usually within 10 to 20%.
Now, log how long the tasks actually took. Keep playing that guessing game until your estimates are usually within 10 to 20%.
