So I’ve been using a timer today. Not in the way Catherine suggested, but because I’m doing an online class for my insurance broker license and I have to do 52 hours of ‘class’ time. Because I have previously done the NY broker class/exam as well as classes/exams that cover the same topics for a professional designation I don’t need 52 hours of class time in order to pass the test. But the online class requires me to click on it every ten minutes to remain in the class. So I’ve been setting the timer on my phone for 9 mi it’s all day long and clicking in the class and restarting the timer. What I have discovered is that I must be able to stay focused pretty well. Most of the time 9 minutes seems to pass rather quickly.
