Concretely, how many hours of practice does it take to get from 60 to 100 WPM?

I'm 58–62 WPM on QWERTY. Want a realistic estimate of the practice time required to hit 100. Daily 10-minute drills? 30 minutes? An hour? And what kind of practice — pure speed, accuracy focus, or weak-key drills?

    Realistic: 60–100 hours of focused practice over 3–4 months. Daily 20-minute sessions are the sweet spot — long enough to get past warm-up, short enough to maintain quality. Structure: 5 min warm-up on 30-second tests, 10 min on 1-minute tests with strict 97%+ accuracy floor (slow down if you can't hold it), 5 min on whatever specific weak-key drill the day's tests revealed. Skip days will set you back disproportionately — the muscle memory degrades fast at this level.
