Brilliant advice! Thank you! I feel it about the timing! I can't tell the difference between 3 minutes and 5 minutes up there and I breathe a sigh of relief when I see the recording is 5 minutes long because then I know I probably didn't miss anything out or forget anything because I practice my sets till they're almost exactly 5 minutes long each time. I'm thinking about buying a watch that I can set to vibrate on my wrist after 5 minutes otherwise I can panic and bail out after 3 or 4 minutes because I think it's been 5 minutes and don't realise that I've missed a load out until I see that the recording is 2 minutes too short because I lost track of time and didn't realise how long I was up there!
One of the first things I was told when starting was to get a watch. The old casio ones are so popular amongst comedians. Chuck it on stopwatch and at a quick glance you'll know exactly how long you've been onstage 👍
