I prefer to look at the monitor at the words I&#x27;m typing, then looking at the keyboard while I&#x27;m typing. I think that for people who aren&#x27;t strong touch-typers, they may not realize what the advantages are. When I&#x27;m thinking of something and trying to type it out, there&#x27;s no cognitive overhead, so I can use 100% of my brain power for whatever I&#x27;m thinking about. When I&#x27;ve thought of something I want to type, I can type it out really quickly before I lose the thought, and can quickly get it all typed out and go back to thinking.<p>fwiw, I made 5 typos in this comment.
