If you rest your wrists on the support for them, will form an uncomfortable angle that difficult the movement of your fingers. This situation causes errors and decreases the speed. Maintaining the wrists too high also has the same effect as increasing the tension on your shoulders. Focus on the success. A good success or good accuracy is the cornerstone of fluent writing. This is why you will have the goal of succeed throughout the project. Your speed will improve over time as you continue to practice and use the technique in your daily writing assignments. Task 5: Final exam. At the end of the month, you must take a final exam to set your speed and accuracy at this point. Record the values for the teacher to recommend additional work routine if necessary.
