Whenever I am gaming, there are common words that I come across every day in gaming language that I can literally just type words in an instant because they are almost like one big keystroke to me. Interesting to know that the same method I use is something else many use as well, great video.

    Been practicing on 10fastfingers for about 30 mins per day for more than a year now. From not knowing how to type at all to 30 took me 3 months and from 30 to current 50 took me a year.
    Honestly it's sometimes disheartening to know that all you managed to achieve after your effort is to reach the starting line for most people. But that's life I suppose. Sometimes you just suck that bad lol
    That said, for me personally the biggest gain was discipline. Atleast now, I'm pretty sure i'll hit 100.
    Sure it would take me way longer. Maybe 5 years but it'll definitely happen in time.
    Just earning that trust on yourself, I feel is well worth the effort on your weakest links. And the best part is this confidence carries over to everything else you suck at.
    In the same time frame, I was working on running as well. Which I apparently was naturally good at as I managed to progress to half marathons within 3 months.
    And while that also boosted my discipline, and thereby confidence. It didn't feel nearly as life altering as typing.
    To begin with, I found the confidence to attempt typing thanks to a similar experince from learning pullups from scratch. An exercise I thought was impossible for me for 20+ years.
    Well my point is, if you want to do something, just start and consistently keep at it.
    Talent, Support and Resources gets you therer faster, but Discipline will get you there regardless of your starting point and circumstances.

    • @ImTryingitforreal
      @ImTryingitforreal 11 місяців тому +3

      the think is that consistency is not the key for everything, you can be as consistent as you want to but the less time you give to something the most you gotta wait in order to reach a goal, if you really want to reach those 100wpm in 3-4 months (as much) you gotta start typing hours and hours a day, and go through a lot of websites, have a lot of competitions with ppl you know has your lvl, and to summary, be as competitive as you can, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as you're competitive enough you gon to achieve that goal asap

      @@ImTryingitforreal That is definitely great if you want quick results and you have the appropriate mindset and required time to do it.
      In my case, I tend to burn myself out fast If I do things for hours per day. I will go crazy for a few months and quit.
      After 20+ years of inconsistency I learned to space myself out as uniformly as possible.
      Break a big goal into small daily steps that doesn't overwhelm me, esp. in the first 6 months when my interest/passion has not cemented yet.
      That's the only way that has worked for me. Infact beyond my wildest expectations at that.
      More importantly, tbh my goal is more of cultivating habits that will keep driving me towards excellence at certain skills throughout my life.
      So while 100wpm is important, being able to keep typing and improving for the nest 20 years+ is way more important to me.

    I think the thing that holds me back the most, is consistency, At least on typing sites. When I'm typing down my own thoughts, I'm prone to make less mistakes, but on typing sites, I focus on going too fast for my own good. Also doesn't help that I've been transitioning from laptop keyboard to mechanical keyboard. Apparently I have trouble fully pressing the space bar. Maybe I should get a tactile switch for it.

  • @Bhuvan_MS
    @Bhuvan_MS Рік тому +64

    My personal tip: Try typing in Dutch instead of English. It makes you concentrate better. After 10 mins of practice, switch back to English(or whichever you use) and see your speed drastically increase for few rounds. It gives you confidence and you get more comfortable at higher speed with good accuracy.

    • @mrchops
      @mrchops  Рік тому +19

      Never heard about it! Because I would think you are training mostly to write in English, so the muscle memory is specific to English words and not other languages.

      @@mrchops yes that's the point. But sometimes when we make mistakes, we develop wrong muscle memory and keep making the same mistakes. So in order to get rid of that for time being, I used to type in Dutch and switch back to English. It improved by speed from 75 wpm to 90-100 wpm in 3 weeks.

      @eldelacajita 11 місяців тому +3

      I did this, too. Switching languages is kinda painful, but it helps you build up your per-key muscle memory, which is the one you use for words that you aren't already used to typing as a stroke. It makes you a more versatile writer and allows you to type faster across more complicated or less common words. It's like practicing scales with a musical instrument, instead of only practicing a specific song over and over.

    @valala2987 5 місяців тому +38

    Trying to look ahead while typing is a really helpful tipp. What I also find to be useful in the 50-100 wpm range is focusing on accuracy. I'm currently stuck at around 80 wpm mainly because I keep making mistakes while typing. Having to correct stuff can really slow you down. Without mistakes i can easily get in the high 90 to 100 wpm range. So, if you are struggling with accuracy I think it's important to try and slow down a bit. As far as I understand it bad accuracy comes from either stumbling other certain letter combinations you aren't used to yet (for that you can either practice ngrams or just keep typing), or it comes from bad muscle memory. In the case of bad muscle you basically need to fix it by making sure you write words accurately but you can't focus on accuracy if you are constantly trying to be as fast as possible.

      @valala2987 5 місяців тому +2

      ​@@muhammadthoif2154 Honestly I don't know if I can give you any useful advice but here is what I think.
      First of all, your progress is pretty amazing and it's natural for it to slow down especially as you get faster. Second of all your speed doesn't increase consistently. I find it's more like going up a staircase. After having learned the basics you get stuck at around one speed, and then suddenly one day you break through it and improve really quickly for a short time.
      Maybe before you try anything else, check whether you do anything wrong. Do you keep your hands at a weird angle that makes it more difficult to hit certain keys consistently? Do you write one key with the wrong finger? Do you know where the keys are without looking? All of these are things that I've dealt with, especially that second one. I recently found out that I was writing the "B" key with the wrong hand and fixing that helped my accuracy a lot.
      Also I would really recommend to not focus too much on speed but, as I mentioned in my comment, on accuracy. Imo if you get too caught up in writing fast and improving you end up stressing yourself out make mistakes you usually wouldn't be making. Your goal is it to learn to write words accurately, speed will come naturally is you write them more often.
      Finally, I don't know what you are using to practice but I would highly suggest to use real texts in your target language. I find that if you write actual real words your muscle memory kind of starts remembering the movements you need to make for the entire words instead of having to go through each individual button press. You basically get faster by learning common letter combinations. Also it's really fun to copy books you want to read instead of mindlessly writing whatever weird words keybr comes up with. Either way, good luck! You are doing great!

Struggled a lot because I ran into some IRC feuds, and wanted to type faster and switched back to qwerty. Once I stepped over the time wasting feuds, and went 100% dvorak, I got it done in a month. And after that, for some odd reason, qwerty and dvorak muscle memory remains, as seperate "entities", so I can do both whenever/wherever :D And yeah, Dvorak is awesome for muscle fatigue.

    I think I was really lucky to start touch typing with all 10 fingers. Before that I used to type at around 35wpm. Now I do at around 80wpm.
    I feel like I've reached a plateau here, and I make a lot of mistakes averaging to 96% accuracy on typeracer. I'm currently working on improving my accuracy rather than speed, because sometimes with accuracy of >99%, takes me to 100+ wpm. "Focusing on accuracy rather than speed should be the main goal to increase typing speed." Learnt that the hard way.
    Also I think changing the keyboard will help me. Currently using a cheap $8 keyboard from amazon.

But in reality i take a little longer to type, because i think there's a huge difference between typing while looking at the words (typing test websites) and typing while thinking what i'm about to type (like how i'm typing right now). In the latter example, i think im typing around 40 wpm max.
      how about you?

    When I started touch typing 3months ago, I started it at 17wpm which was like way too low and then I began to practice it daily for 1 hours , in one month all I could do was I reached about 30wpm because I had to focus on accuracy too and from their in the past two months I switched to monkeytype and now my speed is 67wpm. It is growing day by day but I still want to have some tips in mind which will help me increase it more quickly .
    The tips you gave are completely true because when sometimes I type watching the word that I want to type after current word the resultant speed is much more greater than my current speed!!

All i hope is to see some progress sooner than i lose hope. Btw what time frame should i expect to see noticeable improvements in ?
    Hey guys I am back with an update
    Almost 1.5 months in. I did not stick to daily practice like in my first week as I was getting frustrated but I did start to touch type slowly here and there where ever I could. I did occasionally boot up typeracer with my friends leading me to keybr for practice the next day. But some how I caught up to my initial speed of 24wpm and now i am at 26wpm with no warm up and average about 34wpm
    I am looking forward to improve myself to 70wpm as my end goal.
    Thanks alot for the advices :D

      At this level it's all about good finger position. Instead of those websites (which might feel frustrating in the beginning), you can make it more fun maybe when you type to write messages to people? Or comments on youtube, emails etc.

    How do you type words with repeating letters in one stroke easily? Example: egg-noodles. It kinda knocks me off the flow and I mess up the letters afterwards. This sounds like a genuinely dumb question but when I try it out it doesn't feel the same at all compared to a word without repeating letters.

      It's important to focus on accuracy, even if it means typing slower at first. As you become more comfortable with the keyboard, you'll naturally start to increase your speed. Once you do that you build up muscle memory and create good habits so that you can type without having to look at the keys.
      It's normal that it takes time, good luck!

    I've only recently started consistently getting 90WPM... I was only getting 75WPM last year. Progress is slow and my hands cramp up a lot but I'm definitely seeing improvement with practice. I was absolutely elated I hit 100WPM for the first time. People that can already type fast (above 100WPM) with little effort simply can't appreciate how invaluable this skill is.
    If you're a slow typist and are on the fence about whether or not practice even pays off... I encourage you to try doing so. Approach learning as a total beginner and prioritize accuracy over speed when starting out, because good technique will naturally increase with speed when you become more proficient and drilled the muscle memory. I already saw great results just doing 10-15 minutes daily over six months.
