Can You Improve Your Sense of Time With Practice?
Short answer: yes, noticeably, and faster than you'd expect.
Your sense of seconds isn't a fixed organ; it's an estimate your brain builds from rhythm, attention and memory. Like pitch or balance, estimates sharpen with feedback — and this game is nothing but feedback.
What actually improves
Two things: your bias shrinks (you stop being always-early), and your spread tightens (results cluster closer together). Bias usually fixes within days once you can see it; spread takes weeks of steady tempo work.
A training plan that works
Five minutes daily: three rounds of the 10 second challenge to measure bias, then random targets to stop yourself memorising a single rhythm. Watch the EARLY/LATE labels, correct deliberately, and keep the tempo boring.
Track your solo best for a month — the curve is genuinely satisfying.
