- The plateau of progress
I've noticed a pattern that occurs along the learning path of any activity in life. Take typing for example, the progress in initial phases is tremendous. But slowly it starts diminishing and reaches a point where you see little to no improvement whatsoever. We stay in this phase for a while, so much so that most of us think we've hit a threshold and quit. However, if we decide to keep at it not caring much about the progress, we eventually escape the plateau and set a new benchmark.

- Back of my mind
Whenever I'm typing there's always something going on in the back of my mind. Should I be focusing on one-two words ahead of what I'm typing or just keep my full focus on the current word? Either way, the thing of utmost priority to me is accuracy. I get extremely pissed upon seeing that red alert, the time you make a mistake. What's even more strange is a word like interesting is relatively more convenient to type than a word like poll all because the pinky finger is a bottleneck.
