Tips for this lesson
- 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.
- Using Ten Fingers. Every finger has its own keys. The index fingers handle six keys each, the middle and ring fingers two each, and the pinkies take the rest. Using all ten fingers spreads the work evenly and builds real speed.
