　　Get better at keyboarding
　　0 There is a simple way to work more efficiently: improve your keyboard
　　00 skills by learning to touch keyboard them. If you are one of the vast majority
　　34 of some people who keyboard with two or four fingers, you may believe that
　　35 you are reasonably efficient. But the average person seldom achieves more
　　36 than twelve words by a minute when using this method, while touch keyboarding
　　37 can achieve up to 120 words, if enabling you to work almost as quickly
　　38 as you can think. Whatever position you hold in your company, you are
　　39 probably given responsible for answering emails or generating documents, and it
　　40 is quite likely that you spend too much time doing this. Stop and consider how
　　41 far much more you could do in a day as a result of touch keyboarding. You would
　　42 be able to create such a document faster than you can write and as
　　43 quickly as you can think and free up time to be more than creative. Moreover,
　　44 you would save up the cost of a full-time secretary, and no longer have to
　　45 wait for your documents to be created and either then have to return them for correction.
