Scientists have discovered that regular exercise improves both physical and mental health. Even a thirty minute walk each day can reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and boost your mood significantly.

Typing Speed Test — How to Improve Your WPM

Words per minute (WPM) is calculated by dividing the number of words typed by the time in minutes. The average typing speed is 40–60 WPM for most computer users, while professional typists average 65–75 WPM. Touch typists who use all 10 fingers without looking at the keyboard average 60–80 WPM. The world record for typing speed is over 200 WPM. To improve: practice daily for 15–20 minutes, focus on accuracy over speed (speed follows accuracy), learn proper finger placement (home row: ASDF JKL;), and avoid looking at the keyboard. Common errors to fix: reaching for keys outside your zone, not using shift with the opposite hand, and incorrect posture.
