Day 37: Is 1,000 words per hour a lot?

A thousand might seem like a big number, but 1,000 words per hour is not as much as it sounds.

Try talking at 1,000 words per hour. That’s one word every 3.6 seconds! You’ll be miserable.

If you’re struggling to reach 1,000 words per hour, it’s rarely a writing speed issue. Instead, there is a bug in your process somewhere.

ASSIGNMENT: Write for one hour. Record your time and results.

If you’re not yet achieving 1,000 words per hour, reflect on your hour and look for the problems.

FOR FURTHER STUDY: Take a free typing text. If your results are less than 40 words per minute, complete a typing class.
