Little tip if anyone is serious about learning to touch type: what worked for me was buying a keyboard with blank caps. Struggle for two weeks and boom! You know how to touch type.

The secret fact about touch typing is that it’s awkward af unless you’re sitting behind a proper table and your hands are okay to be locked in a specific position. My hands fly all over the table and land where they feel comfortable. They have some anchors from where they reach keys. But there’s no “homerow” for these free birds. And who am I to cage them into some touch nonsense.
