How I Improved my Typing Speed | 40 to 100+ WPM

⭐ How I Improved My Typing Speed From 40 WPM to 100+ WPM! ⭐

Hello! This has got to be the video I have been most looking forward to posting in the last year! Mainly because it's something that I've been working on and I really wanted to share exactly what I've done to improve my typing speed.

In this video, I go through literally everything you need to know for increasing your typing speed. Typing speed is honestly so important as you can type essays, notes, and work faster. Also, I notice that when typing, my brain often works faster than my typing speed, so I've been practicing to be more "productive" in terms of thinking.

Anyways, I really hope you enjoy this video! It's the first of 2022!
