Any suggestions for getting into this good habit?

I know it's hard and I'm still not nearly as proficient as I should be. But it's only a glance to get a number in your head. But trust me, the first time the clock runs too long and you step with a confident "there should be 2:15 on clock" your stock will rise.
And it's doubly important when working with a shot clock.
