Hi, spent a half hour last night watching replays of Lionel Massi anchoring the World Cup Win for Argentina. Started reflecting on how various sports use time. Basketball and Am. football use a clock which can be stopped for various reasons. Soccer/football plays 90 minutes in regulation then the referees add their estimate for how much time was used dealing with interruptions and delays.
With chess, each player gets 2 hours, so this is different. With baseball and tennis, time is less a factor & play takes as long as it takes.
So today, I've set a timer for 55 minutes. When it rings, I'll take a break and then continue for as many minutes I feel I was away from my tasks. Soccer/football style.
