This will work only if you are going to stick to the same laptop or same desktop. Over a period of time, you will be able to build a long list of such shortened words, which will speed up your overall typing efficiency.
4. Most people type certain words wrongly due to wrongly learnt typing pattern and go back and forth correcting them. Make use of auto correct option here again to correct the habitual mistakes that you make while typing.
5. If you happen to make mistakes do not stop to correct them each time you make a mistake, let it wait until you complete the entire document or mail. Finally run spell check tool and proof read further. This will make you even more efficient because in the process of correcting the mistakes then and there most people just hold the backspace button till they reach the mistake deleting even the correctly typed words rather than just clicking at the wrongly typed word.
