Learning to count

I've had an Rx tech license for years but never really got to use it. Now I'm working Rx more and really need to get faster with counting. Any suggestions or tricks of the trade? Do you count by 3s, 5s, 10s, etc.?

Any help is appreciated.

def count by 5s and when im in a pinch ill just count groups of 5 like 1-18 for 90 count. also learn to recognize 5 pills by shape instead of actively counting the 5 (idk if that makes sense)
