      <p>I've recently been improving my typing.</p>

      <p><img src="https://www.oliverdavies.uk/assets/images/daily-emails/typing.png" alt="A screenshot of a typing test." /></p>

      <p>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%).</p>

      <p>It may seem counterintuitive, but I need to slow down to get faster.</p>

      <p>But not focusing on the speed and prioritising accuracy, I'll still get faster as I'm not mistyping as many keys.</p>

      <p>It's the same when I run.</p>

      <p>My first few kilometres are slower as I get into the run, find my pace, focus on breathing, etc.</p>

      <h2 id="here%27s-the-thing">Here's the thing</h2>

      <p>The same can also be said for automation and automated testing.</p>

      <p>They require some time investment initially but will save time as a project evolves and becomes more complex.</p>

      <p>You need to slow down initially to go faster later.</p>
