Training yourself in touch typing may be an excellent exercise for both mind and hands.
I have been meaning to do a course for about 20 years!
using numeral keys from memory since high school it is beneficial to learn.
One f my friends worked a register at a supermarket and back then, they were typing in codes often - he was insanely fast on a keypad!
Good luck with touch typing, being an author a massive time saver in long run!
I wonder how many hours I would have saved if I had been able to touch type the last five year - and, how many delete key presses :)
Thank you for the lessons Joan!
Never too old or too young to learn something new, perhaps the time is right to get this going, let your daughter join in too it will be beneficial to her future.
I remember some of the boys in our school being teased about taking typing as a subject, now I smile when I think back now how much they must have appreciated those lessons learned long before computers arrived. Oh teacher was a male for a couple of years as well.
