user16827: I normally meditate for 30 minutes but I cannot help but think about the time that the meditation is going to end and constantly thinking about the clock since normally you meditate to be in the present moment, but I am not in the present moment when I meditate. I appreciate any help.
Thank you :)

user295: Use a timer/alarm so you do not need to think about it.
If you still think about it bring back your mind to the object of meditation.
One's mind may be checking the time as you desire the session to end. This can be due to:

session is uncomfortable
you desire to do something else

The above reaction can be very subtle.
Look at what your mind is doing and get a handle on it. Don't despair if it is uncomfortable and desire doing other things while meditating.

user16668: Notice that constantly thinking about the clock is stressful and that letting go of it can be much nicer and calmer. Then you simply let go of it. Do this with all thoughts and distractions.

user16761: Is it possible to be ok with the reality of this. Can one become aware, of I am thinking about the clock, agitated figity. Even thinking about, thinking about the clock? It's ok, that may be a perfect meditation when you realize that it is this not that. Even reading these words, this is the only reality, trying this advice later is not a reality. The conflict of what is and what should be is very real difficulty in the world, that difficulty is here, and now. So many people living in a rush, want to rush off to the next thing. Take pictures to enjoy later and always miss out on the powerful presence of reality. Whatever the reality is. 

user43: Focus on the clock, and you will find yourself getting distracted. 

user16909: Do nothing.  Maintain a daily meditation practice.  Time will do the rest :)
