Not sure if this is really good advice. You wouldn't want to start your timer crossing the fix if you are doing a direct entry. Your OBS should have been twisted already, before reaching the fix, otherwise, you wouldn't be tracking the proper course, and as stated before, you should be at holding speed before reaching the fix.
