From 35 WPM to 75 WPM: My Personal Journey and the One Habit That Changed Everything

The Painful Beginning

Two years ago, I watched my colleague finish a report in 20 minutes. The same report took me over an hour. My two-finger pecking was a bottleneck. I felt embarrassed.

That’s when I decided to learn touch typing properly.

The One Habit: Daily 15‑Minute “No Looking” Sessions

The magic wasn't in long, exhausting practice. It was in short, daily, focused sessions where I absolutely refused to look at the keyboard.

I used orangetype.in for its clean interface and real-time feedback. Every morning, before checking emails, I spent 15 minutes on the platform.

My Exact 3‑Month Progression

1. Month 1: Painful. My speed dropped to 25 WPM. I wanted to quit.
2. Month 2: Breakthrough. Muscle memory kicked in. I hit 45 WPM.
3. Month 3: Flow. I reached 70–75 WPM without thinking about my fingers.
