Tips to type faster

Keep your eyes on the screen

Looking at the keyboard slows you down far more than it helps.

Rhythm over speed bursts

A steady, even pace typically beats fast-then-stall typing.

Fix mistakes, don’t chase them

A brief correction is cheaper than the errors that follow a rushed one.

Practice a little, often

Short daily sessions build muscle memory faster than occasional long ones.
