How to get faster
First, posture. Rest your fingers on the home row and let each finger own its zone, instead of hunting and pecking with two fingers.
Second, accuracy first. Slow down rather than sprinting with errors. Speed grows naturally once accuracy is stable.
Third, short and often. Ten deliberate minutes twice a day beats a two-hour weekend binge.
