How to Stop Looking at the Keyboard
Break the glance-down habit for good.
Why looking down holds you back
Every glance at the keyboard interrupts your reading and stops your fingers from learning the layout by feel. As long as you look down, you're re-finding keys visually instead of building muscle memory.
Anchor and cover
Keep your fingers on the home row so you always know where you are, and if you can't resist peeking, physically cover your hands with a cloth or type in a way that hides them. Removing the option forces your fingers to learn.
Accept a slow start
Your speed will drop at first and you'll make more mistakes. This is temporary and necessary. Practice short, easy sets while keeping your eyes on the screen, and within a couple of weeks the layout starts to feel automatic.
