I was a pretty fast typist. And by pretty fast, I mean I could type probably somewhere around 80-100 words per minute.

I had noticed, though, that my speed hadn’t variated in years.

I did not use to hunt and peck, of course: I looked at the screen, and I would basically use just two fingers to pick any letter on the keyboard.

So, recently, I remembered an article which talked about Tiger Woods, and how he had to re-make his swing from scratch 3 times in order to be the best.

Driven by inspiration, I went on to do a bit of reading, and got to work, ready to demolish my not optimal but already-pretty-fast-by-any-standards typing technique.

And here I am again, being slow and sluggish all over again. Feeling like a newbie once again.

Sacrificing my productivity for a greater good: in fact, it’s like an investment: I pay the price now, but will make it all back and then some when I will (hopefully) type at 120-150 words per minute.

On a side note: cool projects coming up soon. Stay tuned!
