Why Founders care about Reaction Time
Reaction Time measures the milliseconds between stimulus and action. Lower numbers mean faster decisions and better stimulus-response coupling.
Benchmarks & Interpretation
Compare your reaction time scores against cohort averages to spot strengths or risks. Track both best-case and consistency metrics to ensure progress translates into competition.
Lifestyle Levers
Off-game habits move the needle. Start with these levers:
- Meeting overload
- Late-night work habits
Training Playbook
Run focused BrainGames blocks 3-4 times per week. Pair drills with immediate application—scrims, study, or high-stakes work—to lock in gains.
- Breath resets
- Short Reaction Time clusters between meetings
Integration & Review
Review metrics weekly with teammates or coaches. Tag lifestyle variables (sleep, travel, caffeine) so you can correlate them with performance swings.
Action Steps
Run daily primers
Five sets of Reaction Time plus breath resets.
Audit lifestyle
Sleep, caffeine, and hydration drive latency as much as drills do.
Benchmark weekly
Log best single, best-of-5, and variability to catch fatigue early.

FAQ
Why does my reaction time swing so much?
Sleep debt, caffeine timing, stress, and hardware latency all move the needle. Track them beside your scores.
How many attempts should I run?
50-60 high-quality clicks per day is plenty. More leads to fatigue and slower times.
