This is amazing in itself and makes my writing and emailing much better, There is less time needed for checking and less stupid errors getting through which make me appear a complete sloppy dumbass Free Thought Touch typing means you can be watching the screen the whole time for errors, as such I make about 80% fewer errors in my typing straight away. You really donвЂ™t know what you donвЂ™t know, and I hadnвЂ™t realized in the slightest how much my typing style was slowing me down in so many other ways (besides just my words per minute rate). Trying just ten minutes a day seemed worth a try. It had a great UI, was free and the in-app gamification was cool.

I have definitely reached a plateau at typing speed but thought that was fine.ДЄfter a conversation with Alex Denne on my podcast ( Growth Mindset Podcast - How to Master Anything), he sent me a link to a touch typing tutorial. I guess I do glance down at the keyboard a lot just to check where keys are. My typing style involves using most of my fingers so half way to touch typing. But, to be honest, the speed that words appear on his computer never really filled me with envy and I assumed my life was just fine. I have one mate who types crazy fast and when he types he looks like a wizard. I type relatively fast and never really thought of it as something I needed to improve.

I even did a bit of touch typing at school to help learn the keyboard. I have been typing regularly for the past 20 years. This can let you progress onto skills such as being able to transcribe audio as it happens and to make notes super fast, or just be able to write emails in the dark or whilst talking to someone else you can carry on working. This means that, in the long run, you can type much faster without the constraints of looking down at the keys and flicking back up to the screen to see what you typed.

You can type using purely muscle memory and no longer use вЂactiveвЂ™ thinking to work out how to type letters and words. You never need to look down at the keyboard. Touch Typing is the ability to type into a computer relying on touch alone. Hopefully, this has convinced you enough to go ahead and read the rest of this post to understand why I believe it is so awesome. So although learning to Touch Type may sound like perhaps the least sexy life-hack anyone has ever mentioned, I believe it is a truly universal life hack that will pay you back in benefits for the rest of your life, regardless of any personal preferences for pizza or salad, FIFA or yoga etc. And for any of those things to be effective you have to learn to actually enjoy doing them, otherwise, itвЂ™s just a short-term thing that takes effort and doesnвЂ™t change your life in any way at all.

Learning to meditate or going to the gym every day and getting better sleep is for sure great for you, but IвЂ™m not sure if itвЂ™s even a life hack so I donвЂ™t know why Life-Hack lists are always full of them. Touch Typing has been a completely overlooked skill that is quite possibly one of the best life hacks anyone can learn without making any radical changes to your life or redefining who you are or anything. There are lots of tricks and hacks people publish to help you get more out of life but I have never come across anything about Touch Typing. These days we have all heard about the benefits of meditating, eating healthy and going to the gym. How touch typing is a universal life hack that will benefit you the rest of your life.
