As your Personal Trainer, I'd like to give you a few tips that can help you get remarkable results in a short time.
To learn to touch type, you have to practice regularly. That's the most important rule, and the one that brings you closest to success. Practice for at least 15 minutes a day and you'll see good results within 2 weeks. Practice for 30 minutes a day and your skills will grow twice as fast in the same time.
When you decide to start, remember that while you build new habits, you should avoid the old ones you want to get rid of. So don't start learning just before you have to type a long document in a hurry. In the early stage you may slip back into your old method without noticing. Getting back to your current typing speed with all ten fingers usually takes only about two weeks.
Don't put it off for too long. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll start saving time. Imagine finishing all your work in 7 hours instead of 8. What would you do with that extra hour every day? Let that thought motivate you.
Practice regularly and try to use the new technique in your everyday typing right away. After the first few lessons you can already type with the correct hand position. It also works well to practice several times a day in 5-10 minute sessions - about the time one lesson takes. Your speed will be low at first, but the advantage of this approach is that your new habits get reinforced all the time, and with regular practice you'll reach an advanced level sooner. I especially recommend this to people who have finished the basic course.
Do the exercises in the order given. Practice new letters only once you've mastered the previous ones. If you make a lot of mistakes, can't remember where some characters are, or had to take a break of a few days, repeat the earlier lessons before you move on.
In Statistics you'll see which fingers make the most mistakes - go back to the lessons for those keys.
Don't rush. Remember that we do anything new more slowly at first; our speed picks up only after a few exercises. You'll spend more time at the beginning while you learn the new method, but that time will quickly pay off. Start now, and you'll soon reach expert level!
