One thing I had to learn to type fast was how to re-learn. Before I could type pretty fast with my pointer, middle, and thumb, but, if I wanted to type really fast I needed to learn how to type with all my fingers. In the beginning I was really slow, barely breaking 45 WPM, and I'm still no where as fast as I used to be but I'm a lot faster than I was when I started to re-learn. My bad habits are really hard to break but, I'm committed. So now it's just me, my old habits, and my 10 slow fingers.
