Making The Most Of My Typing Speed

 At the moment, I can type about 90 words per minute and I think that's faster compared to those recommended for professionals to have. I'm proud of being able to type this fast but I know that there are so many out there that are way faster typers. Anyway, so I thought to myself, "What do I do with this speed and precision?" Immediately, I had the desire to profit off of it. So I did some research and found ways that I could use this skill for income. Here are some of the things that I discovered to be lucrative.


Transcription is one of the things that I could do to take advantage of my typing speed. I just found out that there are so many individuals worldwide who need to have their audio files converted into readable text. In truth, there are movie and medical transcriptionists. They are the ones who turn the sounds and conversations from the films into text for those who love to read or the deaf. Also, some of them transcribe prescriptions and doctors' orders into text so that it would be easy and fast for other medical professionals and even patients to understand. So I tried doing some transcription work and it did help me earn a bit of money for myself.


Writing articles as a professional writer has also helped me out. This one is way different, compared to transcribing and data entry. It's because in writing original articles, there has to be originality and creativeness. So, although my typing speed was useful, what helped me more is my creative side. Sometimes, when I'm typing, I stop for a while to think. So I end up not being able to type as fast as I want to because of the delay that I experience. But, yes, this did bring me more money than being a transcriptionist. After all, I was paid by different clients and often creative work does involve receiving large compensation. That is based on my experience as a writer.


As mentioned, data entry has also made me some cash. It's a no-brainer. Yet, because it's profitable, I don't look down on it. With it, I only had to type down specific things that I see or hear. So it doesn't involve a lot of thinking to do this job. Even though I consider it easy, I say that it's not effortless and without risks. After all, it involves the repetitive pressing of certain keys and also fast eye movements. Aside from that, it's the kind of work wherein you keep doing the same things for hours or even days. So it does have its fair share of challenges, to be honest.

Never Underestimate Your Opponent

Essentials of Effective Task Management

Task management is something that might be challenging but is pretty useful. That's considering the benefits that you could have when you would get things sorted out. Now, there isn't the best strategy on how to go about it but there are some ways that people have proven time and time again to be effective when it comes to it. Many even call them necessary because of their usefulness. Here are some of what people call essentials when it comes to managing tasks. 1. Make a To-Do List No matter how smart you are, you need to have a list. That's because human beings often forget things, especially when they're overwhelmed with thoughts. Memorizing just won't cut it. You need to put ideas or tasks into writing. That's so that you would, later on, have a reference sheet that you guide you. So come up with at least one. If you need many then at least label your lists to divide them and make things organized. 2. Prioritize with a Deadline Whatever you're tasks are,

Some Self Defense Thoughts this November 2020

 I've been reading a lot of martial arts lately and even started practicing arnis, escrima or kali again. Why? I can't shake off this feeling that something's about to happen. I'm someone who promotes optimism and positiveness but there are just some things that bring out the defensiveness in me. Because of the limited resources right now and the present condition of the economy, I'm just making myself ready for anything. You can't expect people to just sit and do nothing about their problems. Countries in need of resources and that have different political interests may have serious disagreements and such. It comes as no surprise why so many in the world right now are thinking that some nations are ready to overpower others. But this isn't to say that it's just to be paranoid nowadays. These are only practical ideas. Because of the possibility that trouble may surface, I started working on my self-defense skills again. It's not even only because oth
