Calendar color-coding creates visual balance at a glance. Assign colors to different work types and aim for a healthy mix each week. #TimeVisualization

The first hour sets the tone. Most high performers protect their morning routine from external demands and digital distractions. #MorningMomentum

Alternating hands while typing is faster than consecutive keystrokes with the same hand. Words like "minimum" are perfect practice for this technique. #FingerDexterity

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 4d

Fast typing doesn't mean tense typing. Regularly check for tension in your hands, wrists, and shoulders during practice. #RelaxedTechnique

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 5d

The 'startup routine': Create a standard sequence for beginning your workday that prepares your digital environment for maximum productivity. #WorkdayRitual

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 6d

Set process goals ("practice 15 minutes daily") rather than just outcome goals ("reach 80 WPM"). Process consistency ultimately delivers results. #GoalSetting

Keyboard ergonomics matter: a slight negative tilt (front edge higher than back) reduces wrist extension and prevents strain. #TypeComfortably

WhatPulse's cross-device synchronization provides a complete picture of your digital life. You can't improve what you don't fully measure. #HolisticTracking

Challenge: type the alphabet backward (zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba) daily for a week. This exercises keyboard awareness in unexpected ways. #FingerGym

The 2-task workday: Identify just two significant outcomes for each day. This constraint forces prioritization and creates clear success metrics. #MeaningfulMinimalism

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 9d

The best workspace has zones for different activities: deep work, communications, meetings, and breaks. Physical separation creates mental separation. #WorkspaceDesign

⏱️ Focused Uptime

Your computer being on doesn’t mean you’re working.

Focused Uptime tracks how much of your uptime you were actually active — typing, clicking, or moving the mouse.

See your real activity time, not just idle hours.

Want better typing rhythm? Practice with a metronome at 60 BPM, with each keystroke matching a beat. Gradually increase tempo as you improve. #TypingRhythm

Productivity isn’t always about doing more—Working long hours? Track what’s actually moving the needle.

Team productivity multiplies when everyone can work in their zone of genius. Data helps identify who excels at which types of digital tasks. #TeamOptimization

The Pomodoro Technique (25min work/5min break) works because it aligns with our natural attention cycles. Experiment to find your optimal interval. #FocusCycles

Most people dramatically underestimate how much time they spend on email and messaging apps. The first step to reclaiming that time? Measuring it accurately. #TimeAwareness

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 12d

The 'someday/maybe' folder prevents digital hoarding. Move interesting but non-urgent items there instead of keeping them in primary workspace. #MinimalistWorkflow

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 13d

Transposition errors (typing letters in wrong order, like "teh" for "the") typically happen when thinking ahead too quickly. Focused practice reduces these. #TypingErrors
