Weekly typing assignment:

Test 1: 85 wpm 99% accuracy
Test 2: 83 wpm 98% accuracy
Test 3: 72 wpm 95% accuracy

Typing has been going ok. I’ve been typing for 30 mins daily now. Im doing that cuz I want to get more practice. Some thoughts from practicing since last week:

  • I like typing fast cuz you can see how the little workers in your subconsious work to do things for you as you go
  • I like the idea of slowing down cuz you could train the workers to perfect their skills so you don’t have to manage them so much
  • I like the idea of speeding up when typing cuz your consciousness or the boss can get experience on how to manage the workers in a faster way
  • Dealing with messing up keystrokes feels kind of bad still, but I notice messing up keystrokes doesn’t happen the same way every time.
  • Sometimes it happens cuz a finger goes to press a key but doesn’t actually do it. It’s like a ghost finger
  • Sometimes messing up happens when thinking too much about messing up. It’s easier to manage negative thoughts like those when typing slower
  • I try not to focus too much on making mistakes cuz trying to be perfect all the time doesn’t sound good. I want to focus on the learning that sounds more important.
