On everything but free throws and 3 seconds, I try to time my counts with the clock. Every now and then I watch for three seconds and verify, to keep my count timed. If the defense earns a 10 second back court or a 5 second held or dribbled ball or 5 second throw-in, it's not fair to hold my whistle an extra couple seconds. Agressive defenses sometimes start fouling when they don't get their earned 5 seconds.
