4. Ergonomics & Positioning
 The positioning of your body as well as the
physical layout of the work environment
and equipment will significantly impact
your overall efficiency of typing, your
productivity and ultimately your long term
health.

5.  Movement vs. Stability
 Movement
should occur primarily at the finger joints, with some
forward and backward movement of the hands to reach
for keys.
 Stability
your whole body should be seated and supported in the
most stable position possible, with your feet rested
securely on the floor, forearms supported on the desk (or
preferably keyboard wrist support), hands held over base
of keyboard with wrists in neutral position and fingers
flexed over keys.

6. Touch Typing
 Typing on a keyboard with no need for looking at
fingers or keys and a trained 'finger-position' sense
for the physical location of keys, is the basis for
development of fast and accurate typing.

8. Don't look at the keyboard as you type.
When using the "shift" key to type a capital
letter or punctuation symbol, always use the
shift key on the opposite side of the
keyboard.
Don't move your hand and other fingers any
more than necessary to reach each key.
Be patient and practice often.
