The Path of Typing Ninja

Table of contents

π― POSTURE
- While typing, keeping your hands in the proper position is important.
From the images below, you can see that the posture of both hands is incorrectβone wrist is too high, and the other is too low. This increases pressure on the wrist, restricting free movement and causing strain.
Ideally, your hand should be aligned with a straight wrist, which makes typing easier and improves speed.
Ensure that when viewed from above, your hand is aligned straight with your forearm.
Many of us tend to rest our wrists on a desk or flat surface for support, but this restricts hand movement across the keyboard.
Instead, get used to moving your hands freely in the air rather than relying on surface support.
π― POSITION
When typing, place the index fingers of both hands on two specific keys: F and J.
This row is known as the Home Row, which you should visualize as the centerline. When typing on the top or bottom rows, always return to the Home Row to maintain proper positioning.
π― SIMPLIFY
Break down words into smaller chunks of 2-3 words as per your preference. Start by looking at and typing these smaller sections, then gradually increase the number of words to 5-7 as you improve.
Keep some upcoming words in mind before reaching the next chunk to maintain a smooth typing flow.
π― REPETITION
The more you practice, the better your muscle memory becomes, enhancing your ability to type without looking at the keyboard.
π― PATIENCE
Be patient with your progress and avoid burnout. If your hands start feeling sore, take a break for a few days before continuing.
Don't set unrealistic goals like jumping from 50 WPM to 100 WPM immediately. Instead, aim for smaller targets, such as improving from 50 to 60 WPM, then 60 to 70 WPM, and so on. Eventually, you will reach your desired speed.
