With less than a month to my birthday, it’s about time I looked back at my ‘before 44’ list and tried to squeeze in another challenge. After doing a fitness project last time, I fancy something a bit more studious.
Revisiting touchtyping is a good one as I spend a chunk of time sat in front of a keyboard. Last time I used BBC Dance Mat, a touchtyping package from The Beeb aimed at primary school kids. It still got me further on than I was, and my speed improved. I got from 40 to 47 WPM. Today, I’ve stumbled upon Edclub, another online touchtyping package, which is a little more grown up and plain. It’ll do. Here we go…
Before my birthday, The Commonwealth Games starts on the 23rd July, so I’d like to do a fitness project in line with that, meaning that date should be the deadline for this touchtype challenge. I wondered if I can beat that PB before then.
I’ve had a crack at Edclub, starting at 34 WPM, and managing to hit 72 very briefly. A quick google suggests 60-90 WPM is a professional benchmark. So, I’ve actually beat my target before I’ve even started the project. My new self-imposed challenge – see how fast I can get before the opening ceremony on the 23rd.
