    How much did you practice? And how did you manage to get over it? I am trying to learn but then I also have to work and be productive and my current typing method, though Inferior, is faster obviously. So when I have to be productive I type in my own style and I just feel like I lose the muscle memory I gained :/

      I went through that exact problem, I had my doubts that I would ever get faster but eventually I did.

      I insisted on typing the correct way despite being slow even at work, unless I was sharing screen with someone and didn’t want to seem like I can’t even type lol

      I also did every step of the site I mentioned, it helped very much in building the initial muscle memory. Once the muscle memory was there, I started to get faster and faster without much effort. The hardest part is achieving that initial muscle memory even if it’s slow.
