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.
- Take a Break. Typing uses small muscles that tire quickly. Take a short break every 20 minutes: stand up, stretch your fingers, roll your shoulders, and look at something far away. You will return fresher and faster.
