Your session

Rest your fingers on the home row, press any key, and follow the key that lights up. There is no timer until the short check at the end.

About today

One week in, and you already know 16 keys by touch. Today is a gentle review with a checkpoint at the end. It is also the day to talk about the dip: when you switch from hunt-and-peck to touch typing, you usually get slower for two to four weeks before you get faster. That is expected. It means the new habit is replacing the old one, and it passes.

Tips for today

  • The checkpoint only asks for accuracy. Any speed is fine.
  • If you feel slower than before you started, you are right on schedule.

Common mistake

Going back to looking at the keyboard to feel faster. It undoes a week of progress.
