Another week, for a total of two (I think?) seems optimistic. Generally, to learn a new keymap to the same speed as your old one takes about 3 weeks-> a month, as far as I know; I would think touch typing would take about as long.
I tend to pick up on things fast... and I practiced about 2-3 hours a day But I should slow down before I kill my joints

I'm going to try the voice recording thing. I can then still be creative and put it in writing when my speed gets better. I'm already faster than yesterday!
