How I reached from 20wpm to 40wpm in 3 weeks
In all those spy movies where there is this guy who can hack into any system just by sitting on his laptop. He types something so fast and boom things somehow get done and all of them have one thing in common they all type fast. In reality, it may not be true but in the profession of software development, it is necessary for you to type fast.
I started working on my typing speed 3 weeks back. I will share with you some tips which helped me to improve my typing speed a little fast.
Don’t look at the keyboard
This is the first and the most important rule you have to follow in order to achieve your goal. No matter how slow you type in beginning just don’t look at the keyboard. It’s all game of muscle memory and it will take time to build so don’t get impatient.
Use some typing school/website
I have tried many of them and the one I like the most is Typing club. It is the most interactive website I have seen so far. It starts with basic and has some video tutorial in between to help you learn more. More than that each lesson which you type while practicing is a trick to improve your typing speed.
Use the combination of speed and accuracy
It’s important once you see the improvement in your speed you should stop and work on your accuracy. set a targeting mistake and if you make more mistakes than targeted try the same exercise again and again until you made less mistake than targeted.
Try to read the whole word in one go
Try to read the whole word in one go memorize it and then type initially you are not able to do it but after practicing for a while you are able to do it but remember don’t make it a habit to read words letter by letter as it seems easy but it will decrease your speed.
