Learn to type faster — the right way
Touch typing is the skill of typing without looking at the keyboard. With the right finger placement and a few weeks of consistent practice, most people double their words-per-minute and cut their mistakes in half.
Finger placement
Index fingers rest on F and J (feel for the bumps). The other fingers fall naturally onto the home row. Thumbs hover over the spacebar.
Accuracy first
Slow down until you're hitting 97%+ accuracy. Speed without accuracy is just fast typos — and you'll un-learn good habits to chase the WPM number.
Short daily sessions
Fifteen focused minutes a day beats one long Sunday session. Muscle memory builds through repetition, not duration.

How to type faster — the short version
Keep your wrists straight and floating, look at the screen (not the keys), maintain a steady rhythm, and take a short typing test every day. Speed is a side-effect of consistent, accurate practice.
