RE: My touch-typing journey

in Digital Lifestyle3 months ago

My guyyy... Now that's the spirit!

Know this. Every person that looks cool to you for how proficient they are at typing went through this same journey.

When I was about 35 WPM—which is a great score, by the way, as it's the worldwide average—I had this friend that was just as fast with the hunt-and-peck method. Hunt-and-peck is what you do when you look for the keys with whichever finger available and press. I bothered me, but I continued on my touch typing journey regardless. Now look at where I'm at.

When I was 40 WPM

Truth is, I really don't care much about my speed much any more, actually. The goal is to becomre more efficient and productive, and you achieve that when you feel comfortable on the keyboard, so much so that everything you do on it feels natural and second-nature. What matters is accuracy, and that comes when you're actually comfortable and not just fast.

I still practice every day, though. There's hardly a day I didn't practice touch typing since I started two years ago, even if it's for just one minute. What I learned over time is that you improve when you show up every day to do something.

You have inspired me to create this collection of my touch typing journey. It contains all the posts I have ever made about touch typing. Some of them are very useful and could help you stay encouraged. You're doing well, my bro.

One hundredd my bro. You motivated me also to embark on this journey 😄

Thank you, bro. I will make sure to continue practicing everyday

Thank you for the collection of your typing journey 💯
