A hidden time-saver

⌨ ️Today’s tip: Shorten your workday by learning to type faster.

The most underrated time-saving hack is … typing faster? Y-E-S, clacks the writer Niklas Göke, who lays out the simple math: “If you type 30 words per minute, then a 300-word email will take you 10 minutes to write,” he explains. “But if you can type twice as fast, you can crank it out in five.”

Don’t worry if you nodded off to all those Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing lessons back in fifth grade. It’s not too late to increase your speed, and it doesn’t take much effort, either — try studying this graphic and practicing with an online typing trainer for a few minutes each day, and you’re on your way.
