Well, today, I decided to take a typing test, and here are the results:
Yes, you read that right: 103 wpm. I'm officially up to my QWERTY speed.
Here is a pretty nice log of what I've done since the switch:
Time Elapsed | Words Per Minute (WPM) |
1 Day | 5 WPM |
5 Days | 15 WPM |
2 Weeks | 40 WPM |
9 Months | 85 WPM |
13 Months | 103 WPM |
You know, it took about 8 or 9 years to reach 100+ wpm with QWERTY. It took a little over 1 year with Dvorak. Will this limit be my ceiling? I doubt it, but I'm pretty happy with this speed at the moment.
I highly encourage using the Dvorak layout, and I'm happy to say it was well worth learning!
That is all!
