Now after about a month of practice, I can type in the 100s on the right tests, but for the most part, I am somewhere between 65 - 85 depending on the complexity.īased on what I know about you from what you stated above, I don't think that you and I are that different from one another, however, I am just a little further down the track. When I started doing the keyhero, I think that my scores reflected that. Since I have transitioned to a desk job where I only type about 1000 words per day, I would say that my typing speed has slowed to around 55-60 wpm. Regular typing behavior interrupts our thought process as it’s too intentional rather than an automatic subconscious activity.When I was in college and typing real papers and notes and things like that that really required a lot of typing per day I was a very fast typist (probably 110 wpm). Cognitive load: Most adults read 250 words per minute and speak 120 words per minute so our thought process is at least as fast as that.Typing faster has a significant productivity impact on these other activities. As a senior software engineer, I spend increasing portions of my time writing proposals, design documents, training material, documenting best practices, and responding to peers besides my regular responsibilities. Communication overhead: Most jobs involve some form of typed communication and this increases as careers progress.There are 3 main reasons to improve your typing speed: Motivation ✍︎ Photo by Joshua Earle on Unsplash My main mistake was thinking that I just had to spend many hours of practice to achieve this goal but it turns out that training techniques are much more important than pure practice. I tortured my hands for 2 hours daily but still lost that bet. This started with a failed bet to improve my typing speed from 50 to 100 wpm within the calendar year. All that’s needed is proper techniques to reduce the mental overhead. Typing 100 wpm requires surprisingly slow individual finger movement when you consider the frequency of letters in the English language and account for the fingers required to type each letter.
Repeating this process allowed me to exceed 100 wpm so I’ll share the techniques as well as my mistakes to save you from repeating them.Īlthough this might seem unattainable at first, if you can tap each finger just twice per second then you can exceed 100 wpm by using all your fingers. After much experimentation and many dead ends, I discovered several techniques to consistently boost my typing speed by 5 wpm at a time. I spent too much time trying to improve my typing speed by doing the wrong things.
