I Learned to Type Fast (95 Words per Minute)

so i type a lot i type everyday to write emails i type on google to research a lot of stuff and he typed to write the script of this video and i've never thought about it but after i watched this video i realized that by getting faster typing i could actually save a bunch of time which is something i desperately need so i found a website where you can measure your typing speed based on how many words you can type per minute and mine is currently 46 words per minute which is slightly above the average but my goal for this video is to get to at least 90 words per minute in less than a week so i did my research and i found a few things that could help us get better at this the first thing i had to fix is the posture sometimes i find myself in weird positions after a long typing session and this not only can hurt your back but it actually makes you slower at typing we should align our back to the chair bending our elbows and keeping the feet flat to the ground the second step is the hand positioning the f key and the g key have small bumps on them so you can find them easily with your index fingers without looking while the other fingers should rest on the middle raw of the keyboard in the past i used to type using only my index fingers but that's basically like chewing with two teeth that doesn't make any sense anyways i tried to complete the typing test using only two fingers and this way the speed was way lower than my average typing speed you can find online code schemes and websites specifically designed to help you learn typing with 10 fingers and that's exactly how i personally learned in the past anyways i started practicing keeping in mind the right posture and in about half an hour i increased my typing speed of more than 10 words per minute but by watching my footage i realized that sometimes i intuitively looked down to the keyboard and this was really making me slower so i tried forcing myself to look just at the screen and after another hour and a half i really saw a great improvement i was also gaining speed by keeping my arms up instead of resting them on the desk but after trying for another hour i was getting frustrated because i really couldn't do better than 70 words per minute the following half an hour was characterized by practice extreme concentration and a bunch of face i could feel my fingers going way faster than before but i couldn't get far from 70 words per minute 72 i'm stuck for some reason my left hand kept failing so i threw myself into practice i decided to split my training into sessions of 20 minutes taking five minutes of rest between every session practice is the only way to develop muscle memory and i was actually getting faster but also really really tired i'm like seriously oh my god the next day i randomly remembered that i'm italian when you type this fast you don't even have the time to read words it's just intuitive by typing in italian i was significantly faster the first attempt i got 80. that's great and the second 83 i was extremely tired of typing but i wanted to reach at least 90 words per minute i watched again ali's video and i realized that i wasn't using a really important shortcut ctrl backspace this one is extremely useful when you make a mistake at the beginning of a word so instead of typing backspace many times by using control backspace you can delete the entire world beside that i would like to tell you the secret method to get faster typing but there isn't one it's all about practice the more you practice the faster you get at this point my hands were no longer under the control of my brain i was writing something while reading the next word to write and he started to get good results let's go my brain is burning i literally can't read anymore but i wanted to get there really bad so i kept trying and suddenly 88 i was almost there and i started to get consistent results always more than 85 words per minute the next day i absolutely wanted to get it so i started trying applying everything i learned i was dying inside that every mistake i made but i was getting there 89 89 89 89 89 so i tried again and after many phases i got extremely focused and i completely stopped making mistakes and after 6 hours and 44 minutes of practice something unexpected happened 95 25 95 go let's go let's go let's go i was extremely excited by this result but i decided to try again to see if he was just a fluke and he got 87 words per minute to the first attempt and then 90. let's go i know that 70 of you watching my videos are not subscribed so subscribe
