I Learned How To Type in 7 Days

In this video I tried to learn how to properly type since I've been doing it wrong my whole life

Where I get my music:

keep at it, 7 days is impossible to get anywhere near 50wpm, I'm still practicing for almost 2 months straight now, about 1 hour per day, and I have managed to hit the 73 wpm, mark, there is so much more to than just posture, the keyboard. No one tells you this but focus on your rhythm, determine how far you want to place your fingers from the keyboard. Determine if resting your fingers lightly over they keys works better than hovering your fingers over them. Determine if spreading your fingers wide works better than keeping them close. Also the curl of your fingers, the angle of which they arch over the keys. Once you have found the best method for your fingers, and get into a a certain rhythm, you can slowly get to 50wpm or above. Again no one tells you these things, it really makes a difference. Everyone has different ways of making it feel natural, work out these little things and you will be on your way. I'm chasing the 100wpm, but it sure as hell takes time, its not easy.

my entire life ive learned how type while looking at the keys and ive recently tried to start how to type while not looking at the keys and looking at the screen instead

I'm learning how to touch type at 26 years old, I'm seven days in and trying to use my pinkies is super frustrating and painful lol hopefully the pain goes away.

7 days is not enough. You need to do a proper course which takes about 6 weeks, and you need to attain finger memory. There's plenty of free online courses that can help. - from a professional typist, 136 wpm.

i'm currently trying to teach myself to switch from using my index finger for the space bar to my thumb. I can surprisingly type an average of 130-140 WPM with my normal finger configuration, but when I switch to thumb on the space bar, I'm slowed to around 100 WPM (still not bad, I know). Even just switching one finger like this is super difficult. Now there are times where my brain glitches out because it doesn't know whether it wants to use thumb or index for the space and therefore I just seize lmao

I think a traditional clicky clacky keyboard is better to learn on. I have a laptop and I've noticed my typing got slower and less precise over time. The keys are just too short and don't provide satisfying feedback when pressed. Edit I commented this right before you brought in the keyboard lol😂

63 is not bad. I have learned to type with peck and hunt and now can do it pretty decently with muscle memory. I want to learn how to type properly with all ten.

Day 3 I am already surprised how much I have improved

[SafetyMentalst]

In the Army in formation I did appear
Captain said need for typist is severe
No hand went up from any my peer
To type for the army I did volunteer
Little did I know typing to be a career

I got to 90 in less than 2weeks and can avg 75

Typing the “right” way is so uncomfortable especially on a laptop

reaching 80 wpm took me 3 months when at the start i wasnt even able to make enough force with pinky to press a button. I held my best socre at 73 for 2 weeks when suddenly one day i just got 82 back to back and 70 wpm feels slow its really hard to learn type of skill. My first 2-3 weeks was memorizing finger placement and movements for each key. Im honestly amazed that after just week you get 45 i got taht after like a month
