Detailed Answer
Every minute saved typing accumulates. At 40 WPM, a 500-word report takes 12.5 minutes. At 60 WPM, it takes 8.3 minutes – saving 4.2 minutes per report. If you write 10 reports weekly, that's 42 minutes saved. For an email-heavy role (100 emails/day at 30 words each = 3000 words), 40 WPM takes 75 minutes; 60 WPM takes 50 minutes – saving 25 minutes daily = 100 hours/year. Beyond time, fast typing reduces cognitive load: you think less about mechanics, freeing mental energy for content and creativity. It also reduces fatigue and overtime.
