Admittedly, I was under a fair amount of pressure to finish a project, too, which didn’t help. I went back to work and struggled with the Swedish characters, remote environments with Swedish QWERTY and symbols. What I didn’t realize was how painfully slow 50 WPM was. On the evening of 6 January, I sat down to practice: I was so close to my goal. I started at about 13 words per minute and that was absolutely excruciating. I put it on Facebook for accountability.Ĭheck the conversation with George – there’s yet another example of my “why not?” mentality. I really started on 23 December 2015 and my goal was to type 50 WPM before I went back to work after Christmas, so 6 January 2016. I could write a whole article on why I chose Colemak, why I tried Dvorak and what I learned about myself when I did it. it’s been three months and change, but saying 100 days just sounds so much cooler. * I’m not actually sure if it has been exactly 100 days. As of today, 100 days* after I started, I managed to hit 100 WPM. In my typical “why not?” approach, I challenged myself to learn Colemak during Christmas and be able to type 50 WPM by the end of the Christmas holiday. if you look at the distance your fingers travel to type the same words, QWERTY is much less efficient than Dvorak or Colemak. While I was doing my Automattic trial, I came across information about using alternative keyboard layouts – Dvorak and Colemak.
