does anyone know of an online timer that counts the seconds outloud? I think this might be really helpful since I like to look at the time on my timer, but that wastes time.
I agree with Randomness, the metronome function works well for that function. But I think that the best thing to do is to develop a habit of not looking at your timer, as looking may slow you down. That's why I use the "solve" function for the time intervals on CSTimer.

it's not that I'm trying to break a habit, it's that I'd like to better know where I'm at during each step and so I can set goals for each part of the solve. It's just for practice. Not for doing real solves.

my internet (and computer closest to my eyes ha!')) is my android phone
...so sometimes I use an app called Natural Metronome
and that seems to work pretty well, adjustable for # of beats (tocks) per minute, with variable sounds to choose from (I use the thwock! wood sound 👻)
pretty sure there are PC apps and also websites with something like that going on...

It feels tk me like there is mote going on in solving that gets wasted than just time

...when you look up from the cube to see the time(r),
-- yes you do take extra time during the solve to do that
-- you also take your eyes and your physical attention away from the cube solve
-- and you also distract, or un-track, your interal attention and orientation away from the solve you were doing before

It also feels like there is a loss of coherency and maybe even muscle-memory action
-- which probably creates some new muscle-memory of fumbling stumbling trying to get back on that bike bad kinda memory
 
1/472 ZBLL lol?
