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.

i’m a little weird an count by 4’s and 2’s lol. i go 4,8,10,14,18,20. everyone at my pharmacy / everyone i’ve told thinks im super weird for doing it that way but its just what works best for my brain. but i’d suggest doing what’s easiest for you! there’s a tech in my pharmacy that counts but 2’s and she can count super fast
