It feels like what you call "Touch Type" is basically Typing and what you call Typing, is "hunt and peck". And what you say it's "indeed a true life-hack" should be the foundation to do any kind of labor: learn how to do it properly.
If you want to code, learn to type!
And if you think meditation is not a life-hack, you have never spend thousands on medicine and shrink to control your anxiety, to figure out that a few minutes doing breathe exercises could give you a better outcome and for free. That's a life-hack.
I even have to think if you know what HACK means. You are not "HACKING" when you "Touch Type", you are learning to it correctly. Hack is when you find a shorter/simpler/easier way to do things. Trying tea instead of coffee to keep you awake during the day but allowing you to sleep at night is a life-hack.
