His answer? Increase your typing speed.

He said that we'll spend so much of our lives typing (emails, reports, forum posts ) that simply by increasing our typing speed we'll save a tremendous amount of time. I tend to agree with him.

I've been using TypingMaster for a while now (David actually recommended it) and while I like it I'm not sure I'm making all that much progress. I'm still stuck around 50 WPM while my goal is to get up to 80+.

Any suggestions for ways to do this? Any software, books, methods, etc. that I should check out?
