Learn to Type
Most of the things we do on a computer involve typing to some degree. And the quicker you can type, the quicker you get those tasks done. The quicker you get your stuff done, the more productive you are.
Instead of watching the keyboard as you type, you watch the screen, and you type without looking. You place your hands on the keyboards, with both index fingers touching the little lumps on the F and J keys. You simply learn the position of each key on the keyboard, and through practice your body remembers which finger moves where to hit that key.
It's less tiring, and you don't have to keep shifting your eyes from keyboard to screen. Another benefit is that, because you're watching as you type, you can instantly spot any typing errors and correct them right away.

- I really need to learn how to type properly- for years I've been doing the super-fast hunt and peck technique but it would be really great to know where my fingers are supposed to be! Great lens! 5* and a favourite!
