STOP TOUCHING YOUR MOUSE. Tips and Tools for keeping your
hands where they belong. Dave Takahashi @davetakahashi
Why, Dave? Studies by DePaul University: Mouse = faster for
the casual user Keyboard = MUCH faster for practiced users
Why, Dave? *A practiced keyboard user can perform 600 -
800 ms faster PER ACTION than a mouse user. *Even more for multi-layer menu commands.
Why, Dave? How can I tap into this sorcery?
TIPS. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE * Repetition (Muscle memory) * Recall
(Mental memory) * Reprimand (Emotional memory)
TIPS. FIRST STEPS 1. Learn a key command and force
yourself to use it often. (I recommend an app switching key) 2. Once you are doing it without thinking about it, add another one. 3. Observe your habits and replace them. Look up key commands.
