Improve your typing speed with Word Sprint
Typing speed is one of the most leveraged skills in knowledge work. A professional who types at 80 WPM versus 40 WPM doesn't just write twice as fast — they think faster, because the friction between idea and text is reduced. When your fingers keep pace with your thoughts, writing becomes closer to thinking aloud, and revision becomes easier.
Word Sprint is designed as a daily 60-second warm-up. Unlike WPM tests that measure copying text, Word Sprint presents individual words requiring active recall and production — which research suggests engages slightly different attention pathways. Play it before a writing-heavy Pomodoro session for a cognitive warm-up, or after a focus block as a quick break.
Pair Word Sprint with the Pomodoro focus timer for a complete daily productivity ritual: intention → 25 minutes of deep work → 60 seconds of Word Sprint → repeat.
