Just Type

Typing is a necessary skill, an untold skill required for anyone working in an office with a computer. Many office goers look at it as a below my level skill to be acquired. Trust me, that is not the case. It is just not the amount of time you save but it also makes thoughts flow continuously without any barrier. My typing was 20 wpm when I started three to four years back. Now it has climbed upto 80wpm. I am pretty happy with the skill that I have acquired. The down part of it is that i have spent too much time learning typing and you don't have to take that much time of yours.

People once good at typing try to increase their speed by forcing them to type more. More is not the name of the game. It is accuracy with speed. Accuracy you can get only when you do the right thing, if however, you are not doing right then it may take more time. I should have expected to reach my typing speed close to hundred by now. But the wrong thing that I did and I don't want you to do. Always see the text you are typing once you gain adequate
accuracy. Never look at the computer nor look at the keyboard. There are many words that repeat in English. Practice typing those words and then you will find a huge difference in your typing speed and accuracy. Moreover, never indulge in typing for hours together. As any part of our body our wrists and fingers too need some rest. Once in pain and you continue doing it, it will mislead you to more mistakes.

The most easy typing is letters. Then comes CAPITAL WORDS. You need separate practice for numerals and then separate for symbols like question mark, exclamation mark, percentages etc. The best way to practice is take a simple exercise and do it without mistake and follow the above procedure. You will always remember me if you do it that way. This is the thing which nobody will tell you and they will only cloud you with more information. The internet gives you websites and websites on typing test and tracking your speed. It is good to take a break during the course of your day and try a hand at one or two. There are also games, play them whenever you are free.

Typing is a skill mentioned not to be taken lightly. Try it and you will enjoy doing it for the rest of your life.
