Can you give me some tips for improving my typing speed?

1. Practice regularly by writing with your non-dominant hand, or using a keyboard that is not optimized for touch typing.
2. Make sure to keep your fingers in the correct positions on the keyboard and make sure they are relaxed.
3. Use an ergonomic keyboard if possible, as it can help reduce strain on your hands and wrists while typing.
4. Break up long words into syllables and focus on each one individually.
5. Use the space bar whenever possible to increase your typing speed.
6. Take regular breaks when you’re typing to prevent yourself from becoming fatigued.
7. Try different methods of finger placement such as “chording” (using multiple keys at once).
8. Avoid looking at the screen too often while typing.
9. Learn shortcuts to commonly used phrases and commands.
10. Listen to music or white noise to stay focused and motivated.
