Weekly typing assignment:
Monkeytype 15 second 200 most common word tests:
Test 1: 80wpm 98% accuracy
Test 2: 74wpm 95% accuracy
Test 3: 71wpm 100% accuracy
The practicing daily I think has been going less than ok cuz I’ve been skipping most days to practice. Nothing bad has happened to me like say a stroke or a bad medical problem that prevents me from doing it. I think I’m procrastinating on it, but I can’t put my finger on what and why.
I like that it feels more automatic trying to type since starting practice. One way it’s more automatic is that I don’t have to think a whole lot about the arrangement of the keys when I start. I like that I’m taking less effort to type not just the speed of it.
I’m thinking probably the time of typing practice(10 mins) may be a factor about why I’m skipping days. 10 mins doesn’t sound so bad tho. I could try doing 5 mins instead, but I don’t know if that’s going to fix me wanting to type every day.
I think it has something to do with the process of practicing typing like there is something that I don’t agree about it or don’t like.
Mistyping a word when practicing I notice makes me kind of mad but also makes me worried about my method of practice(like it doesn’t really work). Sometimes I think there are just unavoidable mistakes when typing and that makes me question if what I’m doing to practice even is working or helping.
I do like the idea that on average we make a certain amount of errors and that’s just normal cuz we don’t have a skill all figured out and practiced yet. I think that helps my thinking when I mistype.
I don’t think it’s probably a good idea to just do the same thing (10 mins a day of monkeytype practice) and expect it to go differently. Maybe a brainstorm will help? I’ll try to think of something to do next
