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.
- Don't Look Down. The urge to peek at the keyboard is strong, but resist it! Your keyboard has small bumps on the F and J keys — feel them with your index fingers to find home position without looking.
