Personal typing techniques
- NEVER LOOK AT KEYBOARD
- Lose half to one second each time
- Also ergonomically bad (neck, back)
- Practice every day
- Not too much (less than 30m/day)
- Kata principle
- Focus on accuracy first
- Build muscle memory, change to larger wordsets when consistent or plateau to improve bigrams
- Monkeytype: English -> English 1k -> 5k -> 10k
- Stop subvocalizing (pronuncing words or letters) while typing
- Or change from subvocalizing letters to subvocalizing words at least
- Don’t skip wrong words, alt/ctrl + bksp to correct them
- Try lookahead mode
- Type in words, not letters (works well with subvocalizing words)
- When plateau’d, try something else
- Change wordset
- Change to other websites
