Typing Practice 2

If you’re from the video, welcome! The following are the exact instructions I gave our team to follow for 1 work week, which is why you’ll see instructions to record scores for each day. Enjoy!

Daily Practice Instructions (5 Work Days)

• Dedicate 20 minutes a day: 10 minutes before lunch, 10 minutes after lunch. Break it up however you'd like, but do at least 20 minutes total.
• Do not look at your keyboard, even during your regular workday.
• Focus on accuracy over speed at all times.
• Use the same keyboard throughout the week.
• At the end of each day: go to Monkeytype, take 5 × 15s tests, record your best score (optional).

Step 1: Keybr (Do This First)

• Go to Keybr, read the instructions, create an account, and unlock all letters (green).
• Don't move on to other activities until you've completed Keybr — even if it takes all 5 days.

Practice Activities After Keybr

🟢 Easy

• Monkeytype → "Words": Do a 50-word untimed test. Finish with zero errors. Then click “Practice Words” → Missed Words: "Words", Slow Words: "On".
• Monkeytype → "Zen": Type freely from your thoughts (e.g. goals, plans). Press Shift+Enter to end.
• Monkeytype → "Custom": Put your full name, set to 30s, and practice.
• Continue using Keybr to reinforce accuracy.

🟡 Medium

• Monkeytype → "Quote": Adds punctuation and caps.
• Play TypeRacer: Race others, includes punctuation.
• Play ZType: Typing-based asteroid shooter, good for flow.
• Monkeytype → Longer test (1–2 mins): Helps with sustained accuracy.

🔴 Hard

• Monkeytype → Funbox → "Read Ahead Easy": Removes the next word while typing. Try "Read Ahead" or "Hard" if it's too easy.
• Use TypeLit.io: Choose a book, type a chapter, follow all formatting.
• Monkeytype → Funbox → "Wikipedia": Prompts are from Wikipedia — dense with punctuation and grammar rules.

Summary

• Try all activities unless too difficult.
• Start easy, move to medium/hard over the week.
• End each day with 5 × 15s Monkeytype tests. Track your progress!
