  I found that checking or thinking about time throws me out of focus, so I time myself intuitively. To build this intuition, I started breaking tasks outside of the LSAT into 35 minute intervals. This helped me to be able to intuitively feel what 35 minutes looks like exactly and develop a pace. I analogize it to running in the sense that I tune into a pace and then remain confident that I can hit it every single time. It took a lot of Trial and Error especially in LR but I alternated between being too over confident and too under confident and eventually found a balance.

  Woah... @"Lucas Carter", how long of doing that did it take before you began knowing what 35 minutes felt like intuitively?

  I found it doesn't take that long. Like Lucas, I've also kind of developed that 35 minute intuition. You kind of just know as you get to the end of the section.
  Looking and thinking about time also causes me great distress, so I try to avoid it, haha.

  Maybe also figuring there's BR after and then instruction and help.
