How to learn to type without looking at the keyboard by champagnedream

How I did it: All the typing classes in elementary, middle and even high school didn't hold a candle to the speed and skill I derived from talking on AIM as a teenager.  Holding down six conversations at once without pissing anyone off from making them wait too long for a response?  Oh yeah.  That'll do it.

I've typed over 80wpm since about the end of my freshman year of high school for this reason.  If you're struggling to type as fast or as well as you'd like to ... seriously, just spend more time on the internet.  It'll come naturally over time, and there are websites at which you can have your accuracy and speed measured every once in a while if you're curious as to how much you've been improving.

How I did it: during my early childhood, my dad liked to play computer games. i was introduced very very early in life to the computer. my dad taught me how to do arithmetic on microsoft excel, and i started to write little stories on microsoft word. at school, i'd always be first to finish so i'd be allowed to play a typing game. from there, i also still played online games and was just more exposed to the keyboard and typing.

    embarus I need to write in Thai because of my poverty English .

    ต้องควบคุมอารมณ์ 3 months ago

    วันนี้ผมก็นั่งฝึกพิมพ์ดีดอย่างเช่นเคย แต่ผมต้องควบคุมอารมณ์ให้ดีกว่านี้ เพราะรู้สึกได้เลยว่ายังใจร้อนอยู่ แล้วปัญหาที่พบคือยังต้องการพิมพ์เร็วแล้วผิด ดังนั้นผมจึงควรพิมพ์ให้ช้าลงและถูกต้องมากยิ่งขึ้น คือเหมือนกับว่าผมจะก้าวไปก่อนหนึ่งคำนิ้วกับความคิดไม่สัมพันธ์กัน เหมือนความคิดจะไปก่อนนิ้วแล้ว นิ้วยังช้าอยู่ต้องปรับให้มันเท่าๆ กัน ต้องค่อยๆ เป็น ค่อย ๆ ไป ต้องปรับความเร็วให้ช้าลงมาหน่อย ขอพระเจ้าโปรดทรงอวยพรข้าพระองค์ในความตั้งใจดี

    embarus I need to write in Thai because of my poverty English .

    ฝึกทุกๆ วัน 3 months ago

    ตอนนี้ทุกเช้าก่อนไปทำงาน ผมจะนั่งฝึกพิมพ์ดีด ผมตั้งใจที่จะพิมพ์มไม่ให้ผิด เพราะมันจะมีผลที่ดีกว่าเราพิมพ์เร็ว แ่ต่ผิดบ่อยต้องลบแก้ไขใหม่ การที่เราพิมพ์ไม่ได้ไวมาก แต่ไม่ผิดเลย เมื่อเทียบเวลาด้วยกัน อาจจะเร็วกว่าพิมพ์เร็วแต่พิมพ์ผิด และเมื่อเราพิมพ์ถูกต้องผิดน้อย เราก็สามารถเพิ่มความเร็วไปได้อีก ทุกอย่างจึงต้องค่อยเป็นค่อยไป ไม่ใช่จะได้ในเพียงวันเดียว จำไว้ว่า ” กรุงโรมไม่ได้สร้างเสร็จในวันเดียว แต่เมื่อสร้างเสร็จแล้ว ถนนทุกสายก็มุ่งไปสู่โรม “
