Touch Typing in one Month!
Learn to touch type in one month using free tools available online.
A while back ago I really was a “three finger tapper”. I could barely type beyond 25 words per minute and with eyes always going up and down from keyboard to screen… This really annoyed me let alone give me some headaches. So if you are something like I was here’s the plan I used to get out of these bad habits of typing and start to type like it’s supposed to be done in a short amount of time.
⌚Time plan: practice 1:30 to 2 hours every day for one month.
👁🗨Golden Rule: stick to the time plan!

Create a free account on this website. Once you are logged in you should start the beginner lessons. These lessons will gradually introduce you to all the right procedures of touch typing and letters. So its very important❗ you focus on going through them and using (at first) all your daily time plan to them.
Free tool number two: Keybr
After you have finished the beginner lessons on typing.com you can start using this free platform for practicing. Now, it’s important❗ you separate your daily time plan between this two platforms. Start the intermediate lessons on typing.com and has you go through them decrease the time you spend on them. The goal is to spend more time on keybr.com as you go because this tool will give more benefits in terms of speed and accuracy.
By the end of the month you should be practicing 80% of your daily time plan on keybr.com. Also at this point you should have acquired all the basic skills, and foundations for typing correctly and efficiently. At this point your focus should be on increasing typing speed. You can use the typing tests on typing.com to check your ever improving skills.
Note:
The first weeks can be a little frustrating but be patient this is a hard skill to learn. Remember not everyone learns at the same speed, just don’t despair and quit. Be patient.😉
You can repeat the beginner lessons to increase score but I only advise doing so by the end of the month.
And this is it✨
This is the plan I used to go from “click clacker”🤷♂️ to more than 30 words per minute in just one month.
Now practice, practice, PRACTICE! Be committed to this effort. You can do it!
Let me ear what you think on the comment´s bellow.
Peace everyone !
