I fully agree. I type ~90 wpm. This isn't that fast, but it's great for what I do. My only training is years of sitting at my desk and using my keyboard. I don't touch type, so when I get a new keyboard, it's a pain at first to get my muscle memory down (65-70 WPM maybe for 1-2 weeks), but then I'm back to 90 WPM and typing buttery smooth.
- egsmi 6y agoThat’s interesting. Do you notice any meaningful loss of productivity during the 65WPM time compared to the 90WPM time? I just did a word count on some emails I write and they’re usually about 100 words, but I know they took about 10 minutes to write. I have to think about it as I compose it, then edit for clarity. Obviously if I was too slow this time would go up but I’m wondering where the point of diminishing returns is.
- qzx_pierri 6y agoNo, I'm pretty good at expressing myself through text. My common phrases that I use in sentences and words that I use often are burned into my muscle memory, so I usually have a pretty good flow. I never considered how much time I might be wasting during those slower periods, but I'll probably think about it in the future.
