Getting faster

Kat's picture

I bought a touch type program for my computer, and it was actually pretty cool - I have got to the speed of 15 words per minute. This is a huge improvement, but not yet fast enough for me to type my stories directly onto my computer (I lose my chain of thought as I can't get the words out fast enough!).
I have the technique of how to type, I just need to practice. Once I am fast enough to type my stories directly onto the computer, I will mark this as complete.

Wasting so much time

This will save me so much time. It is madness that I haven't learnt already - paying for my previous laziness!
I use typing so much every day, that it really is important that I learn now.

Need to learn to type....

I think this will really help me, as I write a lot of stories and at the moment have to write them all by hand first (I think much faster than I type) and then spend ages typing them up after.
If I could type faster, I could write directly onto my computer. This would save sooooo much time, and would make editing a lot easier.
First step, to search for and find the best course for me to learn.

About time I did this.....

Basically, I am very bad at typing. I have to type a lot at work, and currently use the ever popular 'search and destroy' method. I have been noticing recently that everyone else can type faster than I can. The problem with that is that at work, even the simplist assignments take me ages to complete, and it is making me look bad.
So I have decided to learn to type. If the others can do it, so can I!
I have tried a couple of typing drills, but when I get back to work, I just keep using my two fingers which is so slow.
So I need to seriously practice my drills. I have a program now, so I think if I can dedicate 30 mins to this a day, I will start to make it habit and will start to use it at work. (I get a lot of practice at work so it should help me improve quickly).
