5 minutes of typeracer saves 1 hour of procrastination

Typing fast is a way to unlock the brain. Anything past 90, you start to focus on exactly what is needed to type accurately with speed.

I average around 106-130 (depending on recent races) for the past 15 years, and it's still one of the best ways to "get into dev mode" really quickly.

Playing a musical instrument also achieves this, it makes a game about the little things about the brain (an organ we all love), like sequencing, motor skills, etc..

Never thought about it before, but maybe playing the flute and clarinet when I was younger helped my typing speed.

Cannot emphasize this enough. I literally built my own typing app for this reason - plateaued on monkeytype and wanted better detailed stats so I build typequicker.com
