    Have a go at counting for an hour and see where you get to. Then do it again until by Monday you know how to count an hour.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    Maybe you could choose a song that you know all the words and tune for, then time how long it takes you to sing it through in your head. Then you can work out how many times you need to run through it to make up an hour. You could keep count on your fingers!
    And if you mess up, don't worry, just think of the great story you'll have to tell!
