Sometimes I have to look down and double check where the ' vs " is. This loses momentum. + +I hate when I type "SOmething" and then it's like, backspace 8 times just to write the same word. It's a real momentum killer. + +## How will I do this? + +First I found a typing practice site. Some of them are visually quite unpleaant. I settled on using [KeyBr](www.keybr.com). It's free, clean interface, and quick to setup. + +But the part I liked the most about KeyBr was the setting to include capitals and punctuation on every word. This is the closest typing practice I've seen to code, yet soft enough that I feel it reflects typing a normal message. + +![](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/firescript-577a2.appspot.com/o/imgs%2Fapp%2Fcalvinlang%2FW6xvtzrDzo.png?alt=media&token=32609bed-52cf-40d6-b429-c63d1a9a817e) +Okay, pretty basic. +![](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/firescript-577a2.appspot.com/o/imgs%2Fapp%2Fcalvinlang%2Fv1Qn0CtYYW.png?alt=media&token=978f7e90-17d9-4440-9199-28979af1be34) +Look at all those capitals and punctuation!

Pretty sad._ + +I gotta tell you, this first typing experience was pretty intense. Trying to focus 10 minutes straight with zero impulse, no scratching the nose, no sipping the water, no crying at my desk. The little counter taking count of every single mistake made was daunting.

So mayyyybe we can add 10%... and round up. I don't seriously type this slow do I? + +Also keep in mind this includes a capitalization and punctuation on every single word. Most sentences you type in an email will never reflect this. I'm sure my typing speed would be higher with normal text. Onwards!
