+I've recently been improving my typing.

+
+My speed is usually good, but my accuracy is not where I'd like it to be (it's usually around 95%, and I'd like it to be nearer 99%).
+
+It may seem counterintuitive, but I need to slow down to get faster.
+
+But not focusing on the speed and prioritising accuracy, I'll still get faster as I'm not mistyping as many keys.
+
+It's the same when I run.
+
+My first few kilometres are slower as I get into the run, find my pace, focus on breathing, etc.
+
+## Here's the thing
+
+The same can also be said for automation and automated testing.
+
+They require some time investment initially but will save time as a project evolves and becomes more complex.
+
+You need to slow down initially to go faster later.
