quieted typing 🪷

Having trouble collecting your thoughts? Try closing your eyes and just typing for 10 minutes once a day. Simple as.

why do this?

• improved touch typing and reduced eye strain!
• improved focus while working through new ideas.
• a way to give your dopamine-addled brain a little break.

what do I need to do this?

• Touch typing (and a laptop) required.

  You don't have to be that accurate, just accurate enough to spellcheck after you're done. keep those janrds hands on home row!

• Blindfold optional, but it helps.

  No peeking during the session. You can obsess over how dumb your thoughts are after the fact.

• Use a timer!

  10 minutes is all you need. Use your phone, or an egg timer, it really does not matter.

• Lie down.

  It's less distracting to just lie down, but you can sit in a chair if it's easier for you.

what do I do with the resulting text?

Honestly? Whatever you'd like. I like to save it in an Obsidian vault/journal, but you can also just... not do that. If you really want, you can post your funnier typos on our Discord¹. Or just pop in to trade strategies for being mindful and productive 🙂.
