How I went from 10 to 130 WPM in 3 months

I used an alternate keyboard layout for 3 months and got pretty good. Was it worth learning?

also, I will say that if you are interested in learning Workman, you should probably learn Colemak mod DH instead, because it accomplishes a very similar goal with fewer drawbacks.
