How I did it
It made me
satisfied 
How I did it: - created folders to sort and organize mail into relevant topics, like family, health, articles, etc.- completed the task during large chunks of about three different days, as I have over 1000 emails to go through.- on the last day, I determined I was not going to do anything until this task was completed. Read how I did it…

I am going to play again….I have played off and on for most of my life. I had about 3 or 4 years of lessons when I was young and it took. I have always loved playing. I especially like classical piano and soft jazz styles.
I am going to practice at least 30 minutes per day, 3 days per week. There are several difficult songs that I have the music to that I would like to be able to play by the end of this year.
Practice…practice…practice…
I have never typed faster than 65 wpm….but that will change. I probably only type 40some now, and have gotten into a few bad habits, not always touch typing, etc.
I will try to get to 100 wpm by the end of this year. I will track my progress and let you know how I am doing. It is a productivity thing….if I type faster then I write emails, program, etc…...all faster. Sometimes it is great to just take my time and give thought to everything, and other times I need my fingers to fly…..
I had a friend in school that typed around 120….I was sooo jealous….ahem…...I mean inspired :)
100 wpm would sure be a great enhancement to my skills. Stay tuned…
