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

I’ve been typing off and on. I’ve typed for half of the last 16 days since I posted. Making errors when I type doesn’t seem so bad like it used to. Something like >95% accuracy looks way better than >90% accuracy.

The typing has going better than before like it’s been more consistent. I was thinking instead of “just practicing” like I usually do what if you could use problem solving when you type to help you get better.
Like sometimes when I press a key twice on accident I see that it can happen when I hold too long on the key or it happens when I want to press a key but I hesitate and end up pressing it twice. I think there’s solutions to those problems, but the solutions aren’t super easy to get to.

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.
