Chapter V: Titchmarsh's book “The theory of the Riemann Zeta function”

Through chapter V of Titchmarsh's book "The theory of the Riemann Zeta function" it is used a "counting technique" that I am not understanding. In particular, Theorem 5.12, p 106, uses something like: if $bleq 2a$, with $0<a<t$ and $sum_{a<nleq b}n^{-s-it}=O(f(t))$ then $sum_{nleq t}n^{-s-it}=O(f(t)log(t))$, as $ttoinfty$. My question is: how this $log(t)$ appears? That is how is it related to $bleq 2a$ and $0<a<t$?

You need to apply the result, as also stated in the book, multiple times: Take $b_n=t 2^{-n}$ and $a_n = t 2^{-(n+1)}$ (e.g. $b_0 =t$, $a_0 =t/2$, $b_1 =t/2$, $a_1 =t/4$, and so on) and apply this until $a_n le 1$. This happens exactly when $n le log(t)/log(2)$ and $log(t)/log(2) le (n+1)$. Thus, we only need to apply the result $ log(t)$-times.
