60 bpm songs
Everyone should have a 60bpm song that they can play in their mind to help estimate the duration of a second.
I suppose you could also have something that is 120 bpm and just count every other beat.
I don’t remember if this is still a thing that people do (or suggest), but it’s like that advice of singing the song “Stayin' Alive” in your head while doing CPR to give you an idea of the rhythm in which you do the chest compressions.
For estimating a second, I use the song “Submerciful” by Disasterpeace.
In daily life, I don’t think it’s been that useful but I’m pretty good at estimating a second now.
