Tips for this lesson
- Think Ideas, Not Fingers. Once your fingers know the keys, stop thinking about them. Focus on the words and ideas you are typing instead of individual letters. Trust your muscle memory — it learns faster than you expect.
- Muscle Memory. Every correct keystroke strengthens the pathway in your brain. Every wrong one strengthens a bad habit. Type slowly and accurately at first — speed is a side effect of precision, not the other way around.
