"Just show up" doesn't work [after a certain point]
Here's a question - How many hours a day do you type?
I type more than most people do. In school, I'm typing. At home, I'm writing YouTube videos. But interestingly enough, my typing speed has never increased. It's always been about 100-110 wpm. Why?
Because 'just show up' isn't enough. It can get you to a certain point but afterwards, you stop improving. If it were true then I would consistently get faster and faster and SO WOULD YOU - But it doesn't work like that even though you type every single day.
If 'just show up' were true then some random 60 year old accountant who's typed his whole life would have the world's fastest typing speed but no.
He can show up everyday but it's not about that. You need to actually put in specific time and attention, do typing tests everyday and look at your words per minute and try to get it higher. What inspired this post is actually one of my students in my coaching who is learning how to type faster and he shares his typing test results every once in a while.
10 minutes of deliberate challenge > 1 hour of mindless repetition [aka showing up]
So if you are not making progress in life, ask yourself this. Are you GENUINELY testing yourself or just showing up?
