Sit right & place your hands
Sit up straight
Back against the chair, shoulders relaxed, feet flat on the floor.
Screen at eye level
Keep the screen about an arm's length away, top of the screen near eye height.
Float your wrists
Wrists straight and lifted — don't rest them on the desk while typing.
Find the home row
Left fingers on A S D F, right fingers on J K L ;. Feel the bumps on F and J — your index fingers live there.
Eyes on the screen
Look at the words, not your hands. Your fingers will learn the way.
Place your fingers on the highlighted keys — feel the bumps on F and J.
