Those are some awesome takeaways. I think that by the time you're a teacher, you forget what it's like to be a student. One of my biggest complaints with class is that its entirely passive learning and I am a completely hands on person. Additionally, after reading pedagogy of the oppressed, it's very easy to get bitter with education in general.

The egg timer seemed like an amazing idea:
set an egg timer every time I get up to talk and all eyes are on me. When the timer goes off, I am done. End of story. I can go on and on. I love to hear myself talk. I often cannot shut up. This is not really conducive to my students’ learning, however much I might enjoy it.
Many teachers feel compelled to talk because they have a captive audience, so they prattle on about their personal lives or current events instead of engaging students in the topic they're supposed to be teaching.

Sounds very similar to the Pomodoro Technique[0] in a way.
