💡 Why This Matters

Every typo costs roughly 3 seconds to recognize, hit backspace multiple times, and re-type correctly. If your accuracy drops below 92%, typing faster actively loses you time.

🐢 Slow is Smooth

The military saying "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast" applies perfectly here. Deliberate typing prevents compounding errors that disrupt your flow state.
