If you're typing 80wpm you're typing 2x faster than 80% of the population already.

If you type around 100wpm you are typing in the top 5% of all people on the planet, AKA no one is going to think you need to be faster. To some extent, speeds over 100wpm are redundant as few people actually type a long work or program in such a continuous manner. They stop, they think, they rest, and they certainly aren't going for speed over quality. Most of what you have to type on a daily basis naturally is under 200 words of content, so you can type that in 2 mins? Whether you get that to one minute and thirty seconds, or get stuck at two minutes is largely a poor return on effort.

I mostly practice for accuracy which takes a lot of time to cultivate and I ignore speed. I want more value for the time I spend typing rather than trying to max it out per se.

comparing yourself with others makes you sad.



So don't compare yourself with others!
