We completed our Easy Sudoku puzzle in 15:11, in the 96%.

It seems important that a process is established for everyone to use, going by numbers (where can I place the 1's? the 2's? the 3's?); a set of skills that we can use to modify and change in order to be the most useful approach to a problem.

Organization to the process is helpful, even if it slows one down at first, it's a matter of learning and making it sub/unconscious. 

Darkening the screen; eye strain.

Happy to finish, to do better.

Use the timer not to keep track of how quickly one is doing, but to notice when a puzzle is too far gone.
