As the title suggests, I just hit over 100 WPM. 😎

102 WPM Monkeytype

This has been a long, long journey. I still remember the first time I ran a typing test, it was around 28-30 WPM (spear typing, of course!). That wasn’t even that long ago, maybe just three years back.

I always wanted to improve my typing, but touch typing just didn’t seem like my thing (having smaller hands doesn’t help 😭).

Enough is enough, for a month, I forced myself to keep my hands on the home row, slowly building the habit. It was just terrible, but eventually I got used to it.

Anyone who has struggled with touch typing will understand how hard it is to get used to using their pinky fingers for Q, P, and []{}. And let’s not even talk about numbers, I was still spear typing them just 6 months back! 🫠

For new touch typists, here were my stats a few months ago for inspiration.
