# Touch typing Touch typing moves typing from a primary brain function to a secondary (sub-conscious) one. It is incredibly useful for productivity and flow. But it's also fun and even artistic. There's a lot of pleasure to be had typing long texts eyes closed, feeling and knowing exactly when you made a mistake and how to correct it. For anyone using computers on a regular basis, touch typing is a very valuable skill to develop. The productivity boost it brings is substantial. It removes the cognitive burden that you feel when you need to look for the next keys to type. It frees your mind to focus on what you want to write and what you want to achieve. In that sense, touch typing enables thinking better by maintaining flow, which makes it much easier to get and stay in the zone (cfr [[Flow]]). # References - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_typing
