How to make less mistakes when typing

1. Learn to touch type correctly

If you are already a lot of years of using a computer, chances are you will succeed most of the time not to spy on the keyboard to type text. However, if you are accustomed themselves to touch-type incorrectly set speed and accuracy can not be too high.

Exhaust technique touch type using simulators:

• offline: Stamina, «Solo on the keyboard», VerseQ;
• Online: "Klavogonki», Klava.org, «All 10».

Games for typing very exciting - many participants noticed a constant desire to type texts.

Personally, I managed to learn how to touch type in high school, when my keys on an old Dell laptop entirely erased. I just drew a diagram of the keyboard and type text, looking at it as a cheat sheet.

2. Buy a comfortable keyboard

When choosing a keyboard, pay attention not on appearance but on convenience. Do not hesitate to try different models directly in the store and choose the most convenient for themselves. Pay attention to aspects such as:

• The distance between the keys. It should be such so as not to accidentally press the adjacent keys at the same time so as not to have to stretch too much finger to the desired key.

• The height of the keys. Too low key cause sticking and repeating characters, and too high demand excessive force to press.
• Keyboard Form. Ergonomic keyboards provide a more comfortable hand position, but if you can not always work on the same keyboard, it is best to use a standard rectangular.

3. Do not be distructed

This advice is simple: to improve the accuracy to be more concentrated. This will help you headphones, equipment Pomodoro and regular breaks.

If you listen to the music, choose songs without text. Try to work with the sound. At the time of writing texts, I always listen to the same set of Noisli.

4. Do not look at the text you type

When you see your mistakes, you are distracted and go back. This leads to new errors. Therefore, try to rarely watch into a text editor. Look only at the source or even close your eyes, if you are printing "out of my head."

Get in the habit to correct mistakes not as they appear, and after the completion of the logical block of text. Turn off underlining of misspelled words and use tools to check the spelling of your text editor on the finalization of the text.

5. Do not accelerate

If you are often wrong, chances are you too fast. Many of the exercises trainers focused precisely on the development of the printing speed. However, in the case of real texts need to find a middle ground, since the error correction greatly reduces the final print speed and leads to greater fatigue.

To reduce the speed, try an eye on the rhythm: alternating keystrokes should be at regular intervals.

6. keep your posture

Only the correct position of the spine provides a sufficient blood supply to your brain and, consequently, better concentration and greater serviceability. therefore straighten your back!

I help regular (every 2-3 hours), breathing exercises for 3-5 minutes. Concentration on breathing allows you to clear the brain for a new stage of work, and a deep breath - get rid of the stoop.

7. Watch correct position of the hands

• Elbows. Use the armrests, they must be on the same level with the keyboard.
• Brushes. Keep them round - so teach pianists. Brushes should not be too tense, but relaxed and let down by their keyboard is also not worth it.
• Fingers. We should not raise them too high, and after each pressing need to return to the starting position (asdf).

8. Do exercises for the wrist

If you have a lot of typing, the hands will inevitably tired. Perform exercises that will also help to prevent the emergence of tunnel syndrome and arthritis:

• Rotate the wrists.
• Stretch and massage the fingers, and the shoulder girdle.
• Squeeze the expander or a rubber ball.
• Crumples the paper and newspaper.

Personally, I often mistaken, rearranging the letters in a few words like "all" and the. And what mistakes do you?
