Hide or cover your keyboard  ⌨️🦖

Breaking the habit

This is the single most effective way of breaking the habit of looking down and it's way more helpful than it seems.

Examples:

Or if your desk has one of those keyboard trays just leave it under the desk - that's how I did it back in the days.

The towel method

I know it looks silly and please do not cover your laptop like that - it will overheat! 🔥

This will teach you both to not look down and to do as small finger movements as possible.

I know it's not comfortable so that's not my first recommendation. But hiding the keyboard helped me a lot. My brother had the same accelerating effect when he started to hide his keyboard under the desk while chatting.

A secret technique

You won't find it mentioned on any of those "serious" touch typing websites, but it really helps.

Give it a try - at least from time to time - but now go back to typing...
