Text difficulty controls training quality

If paragraph complexity is too high, error rates spike and rhythm collapses. If it is too easy, adaptation stalls and progress slows.

Picking the right level keeps sessions challenging enough to improve while preserving confidence and consistency.

Isolate the pattern that costs you the most time—double letters, a specific finger, or a punctuation cluster—and spend one short block only on that pattern. Narrow focus beats scattered repetition.

If you tend to look at keys when uncertainty spikes, practice short bursts eyes-forward and accept a temporary accuracy dip while your confidence catches up.
