When using the keyboard:
Sit up straight with your back away from the back of your chair.
Arrange the middle of your body with the B key.
(Think: Buttons, Belt Buckles, Bodies)
Use your fingertips to touch the keys while your wrists are slightly lifted from the keyboard or table/desk.
Always return your finger to its home row key after pressing another key.
Cover your hands with a kitchen towel to help your fingers learn the keys without the assistance of your eyes.
