 I started practicing for 10 minutes each day, and after just one week, I reached a top speed of 37 WPM and unlocked a seventh letter. Even in this short time, I can already say that with Colemak-DH, my fingers move less, and my hands feel more relaxed.

 ## Accuracy First: The Dao of Typing
 
 The most important aspect of learning to type is accuracy first; speed will follow. I found that the best approach is to avoid looking at the keyboard—neither the physical keys nor the digital layout helper—and to not think at all. As _Bruce Lee_ summarized Daoist philosophy in his [Lost Interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER5Z_MyUkJQ):

-I hadn’t planned to write another essay this year, but one topic has been on my mind for the past few weeks. Due to the impending collapse of the German pension system and the Baby Boomers’ complete lack of understanding or willingness to address the issue, there has been significant back-and-forth between the Boomers and the younger generations. Much of this exchange has been filled with hate and spite. Their proposed solution is simply to raise taxes on everything—taxing private pensions, investments, and self-employed individuals more heavily to fund the pensions, while the generations following the Boomers will likely receive no pensions at all.

Some boomers believe they have “paid into” a pension system and now expect to receive payouts. This is a misconception. They contributed money to a pyramid scheme, which was immediately distributed to the retirees at that time. Nothing was invested or increased. The pyramid scheme relied on a redistribution model that had already failed when the boomers were children.

 Since I have a [premium subscription](https://www.patreon.com/c/aethervoxehrenfeld) to my favorite podcast, [Aethervox Ehrenfeld](https://xsxm.de/), I’ve noticed that many guests, including the host, are from my generation, Generation X. They often describe their parents and childhood experiences in ways that resonate with my own. I’ve been trying to understand why my generation and those that follow harbor such strong feelings against the Boomers. My parents are Boomers, so this analysis is general assession
 and not aimed at specific individuals. However, I find that I connect more with the Silent Generation (my grandparents) in terms of their worldview compared to the Boomers.
