1. Master the home row
Rest your left index finger on F and right index on J. Every keystroke should start from and return to this home position — it's the foundation of touch typing.
2. Stop looking at the keyboard
Practice with your eyes on the screen only. You'll slow down at first, but eliminating eye travel raises both speed and accuracy within weeks.
3. Accuracy first, 95%+
Fixing one typo costs at least three keystrokes. Until your accuracy passes 95%, deliberately typing slower is the faster path.
4. Short daily sessions beat cramming
Ten minutes every day builds more muscle memory than two hours once a week. Frequency beats intensity.
5. Practice with real sentences
Random character drills don't transfer well. Typing real prose builds practical rhythm — a daily challenge with a fresh prompt keeps it from getting stale.
6. Measure and compare
What isn't measured doesn't improve. Track your WPM daily and compare on a leaderboard for motivation.
7. Make it a daily habit with Haluta
