flaneur on the other hand is very different. He hasn't missed a month since September 2020 and averages 1,790 races per month. The most John ever did in one month was 1,501. He's completed 67,985 races to date which is more than quadruple the number that John has, but still, his average monthly speed hasn't really changed since April 2021 when he got to 177 wpm. That's two and a half years of slogging his guts out for a neglible amount of improvement. He clearly loves typing, otherwise he wouldn't do it so much, and he's very good at it, but his typing far more than John, and although his monthly average speed might be 15 to 20 wpm higher than John's, it's been that way for a long time now and the gap isn't getting any wider, despite all the extra typing that he's doing. ==== This is a perfect example of the point of diminishing returns when applied to the amount of time spent practicing typing. As with many other activities in life, we encounter the point of diminishing returns far sooner than we'd like to admit. So yes, you need to be consistent with your practice, but you don't have to be a slave to it. Far from it.🏁
