If you are doing to know how much time is going off the clock then you are not concentrating on the important things like:
1) fouls by the defender
2) illegal dribble
3) illegal screens to get the dribble open
4) etc.
But you have all those things to think about if there is more than 10 seconds left, and in that case you DO have to count. For me, it has been a matter of firmly establishing good habits. If I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS do it as correctly and conscientiuosly as possible, it gets easier later. It's actually more work to try to figure out what things I can skip.
