1. Home position
Left hand on A S D F, right hand on J K L ;. The F and J keys have small bumps: find them by touch and your hands land in place. Thumbs rest on the space bar.
After every keystroke the finger goes back to its home key. That’s the core habit — everything else builds on it.
2. Finger zones
The map above: each colour is one finger. Index fingers cover two columns each, little fingers take everything on the edges. A finger never reaches into another finger’s zone, even when that feels faster.
3. Don’t look at the keyboard
At first you’ll be slower than before — that’s normal. If you can’t resist, cover your hands with a sheet of paper. Within a week or two you’ll catch up with your old speed, then pass it.
4. Accuracy before speed
A mistake costs more than a slow but correct keystroke: you still have to notice and fix it. Keep accuracy at 95% or above and speed follows.
5. A little, every day
Fifteen minutes a day beats two hours at the weekend: fingers learn from repetition. The trainer counts your day streak — don’t break it.
6. Work on your weak spots
Everyone mixes up their own letters. The trainer remembers yours and serves words that contain them, and tongue twisters give you a dense dose of the hard combinations.
