Killing Productivity with Dvorak VLOG #Best Education Page #Online Earning

Killing Productivity with Dvorak VLOG

so about a month ago I made a change and
it killed my productivity so let's
rewind I listened to the tim ferriss
podcast pretty often and he interviewed
the founder of WordPress an automatic
matt mullenweg so they talked about a
lot of stuff in that episode and I found
it very interesting really enlightening
thing you know get some background on
wordpress now one of the things that
Matt mentioned in the episode is the
Dvorak or Dvorak keyboard I'd never
heard of it before you talked about it
some and basically it's a different
layout for the keyboard as opposed to a
corny it is more efficient in that there
the letters are the most common letters
rather our place in the home position so
in general you end up moving your
fingers less to do the same sort of
typing so after I took a look at the
keyboard I must have felt like I had you
know plenty of free time or something I
thought hey I'm going to try and switch
over to Dvorak also i did some research
and it turns out that it's really easy
to change any computer windows or mac
over to the other keyboard you just have
to change the mapping typically you go
to some sort of international keyboard
section and you can just change it over
immediately so it takes like two seconds
the problem is i went from typing about
50 words a minute which is not very fast
but it's good enough or you know
typically what I'm trying to do i went
from typing about 50 words a minute on
average two about i don't know ten words
a minute or so that first week and i've
been practicing a lot for about a month
and it's turned out to you know still be
slow going so right now after about four
or five weeks i am typing about 30 to 35
boards a minute and it's coming more
natural at this point and I
think and type but man it's still pretty
tough so one of the main drivers to move
over to the Dvorak keyboard is hopefully
it'll be less wear and tear on my
fingers and hands over the years some
studies claim it's like 70 75 percent
less movement to type that you know the
same letters in the same words what are
the key things that helped is I got my
wife involved and she is also you know
studying the keyboard Dvorak keyboard
and looking to move over so I thought it
would be you know a little difficult to
persuade her to do that but she actually
has had some issues with her hands you
know excessive typing and repetitive use
type injuries where that she's had
inflammation in her hands and fingers it
wasn't too hard when she heard that she
may be able to type with less movement
and you know overall help her fingers
and hands she was willing to give it a
shot so that's how I messed up my
productivity and you know hopefully I'll
be able to type faster coming up but I
kind of moved over a cold turkey I only
had maybe two or three days of basically
you know going back to us a regular US
keyboard so I did regress a little bit
but at this point since I've moved over
to Dvorak like ninety-nine percent of
the time if I try and go back to a US
keyboard I actually type slow there too
so so I admit as well just stick with it
all right we'll check out the links
below for a Dvorak and you know if you
do switch over it's kind of like
learning a foreign language everything
will be a little bit different it's very
frustrating and you just have to keep
making the effort each day in order to
actually move it over so all right
thanks for checking out the video and
we'll see you next time
the rain is really picking up now so
hopefully that's not too loud where you
going buddy hey we got to stay in here
yeah pretty sick
