💡 Pro Tips for Success
-
Start Slow: Don’t rush. Start at 1000ms or 1500ms to get the rhythm right.
-
Don’t “Say” the Numbers: Try not to pronounce the numbers in your head (subvocalization). Instead, try to see the image of the number and add the value directly.
-
Relax Your Eyes: Staring too hard can make you blink and miss a number. Keep a soft, relaxed focus on the center of the display area.
