📝 Label Each Section
Create separate timers for Intro, Main Content, Demo, and Q&A. Know when to transition.
🖥️ Use Fullscreen Mode
Place the fullscreen timer on a second monitor or tablet where you can glance at it easily.

Use Color Coding
Green for on track, yellow for 5 minutes remaining, red for final minute. Stay aware without stress.
