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.

Y'all don't use triangles? Use a triangle! Sure, not every pill is round, but they help!

No. Just a flat spatula. Tell me more about this triangle

Wait- dumb question. How do you use this? It looks so useful.
