All play is over, reset, and lets move on. Now obviously, if more runners are on base, you have to make sure there is no other action on the field. . . but after that, time can be a great way of keeping the game moving and flowing better.

I have to ask you what the purpose is in you killing the play at this point. It helps NOTHING, and potentially hurts. There's absolutely no reason for an "instant time call" here (nor a time-call at all).
Get in this habit, and one day you will stop play right as the R1 on third that you forgot about tries to score.
