Indeed! After practicing touch typing I have significantly improved my productivity. I'm not very fast yet (84 wpm tops). But still, it's better than monkey typing.

I think 84 WPM is very sufficient. I am curious, what was your WPM at the start? What things you have done in order to improve your typing speed?
