 ## Installation
@@ -14,40 +9,76 @@ $ python -m pip install tictoc
 ```
 
 ## Usage
-Import and initialise. **The module must be initialised to be used!** 
+Import. 
 ```python
-import tictoc
-t = tictoc.init()
+from tictoc import tic,toc
 ```
-Begin timing with `tic()`, and stop with `toc()`.
+If you only want to time one section of code then use `tic() and `toc()` directly. Begin timing with `tic()`, and stop with `toc()`.
 ```python
-t.tic()
+tic()
 # some code
-t.toc()
+toc()
 ```
-When `toc` is called, the results are saved. They can be accessed with the following syntax: 
+A call to `tic()` can be followed with multiple `toc()` calls. Each will print the time elapsed since the most recent `tic()` call.
 ```python
-t.results.{unit}
+tic()
+time.sleep(3)
+toc()
+# >>> The elapsed time was 3.000132333 seconds.
+time.sleep(3)
+toc()
+# >>> The elapsed time was 6.000383124 seconds.
+```
+For more complex timing operations, you can assign the output of `tic()` and pass it as an input to `toc()`.
+> [!NOTE]
+> This syntax cannot be used interchangeably with the default syntax above. Any call to `tic()` resets the global timer.
+```python
+firstTic = tic()
+time.sleep(3)
+secondTic = tic()
+time.sleep(1)
+toc(firstTic)
+# >>> The elapsed time was 4.000317251 seconds.
+time.sleep(3)
+toc(secondTic)
+# >>> The elapsed time was 4.000312568 seconds.
+```
+Any call to `toc()` will print the elapsed time in seconds. You can save the results with full precision by assigning the output of `toc()`.
+```python
+tic()
+# some code
+results = toc()
 ```
 The available units are:
 ```python
-t.results.nanos   # u128
-t.results.micros  # u128
-t.results.millis  # u128
-t.results.seconds # f64
+results.nanos   # u128
+results.micros  # u128
+results.millis  # u128
+results.seconds # f64
 ```
 
 ## Full example
 ```python
 import time
+from tictoc import tic,toc
 
-import tictoc
-t = tictoc.init()
-
-t.tic()       # start timing
+tic()         # start timing
 time.sleep(3) # sleep for 3 seconds
-t.toc()       # stop timing
+toc()         # stop timing
+# >>> The elapsed time was 3.000132333 seconds.
 
-print(t.results.seconds)
-# >>> 3.000457715
+firstTic = tic()
+time.sleep(3)
+secondTic = tic()
+time.sleep(1)
+toc(firstTic)
+# >>> The elapsed time was 4.000317251 seconds.
+time.sleep(3)
+toc(secondTic)
+# >>> The elapsed time was 4.000312568 seconds.
+
+tic()
+results = toc()
+print(results.nanos)
+# >>> 2825
