I am typing with eyes closed. Have you done that before?

That's right. People like me sit in front of the computer almost two third of the day. That's why my eyes feel fatigue after work. The stress is even intense when I continue to work on Mylot at home. Therefore, instinctively, I closed my eyes when I feel tired, but my fingers keep on typing. I have tried the tips that you shared. My eyes feel more relieved and the stress is relieved instantly. Thanks for sharing such useful information! It will be very much useful to me. A short rest is very useful. Now I started to appreciate the importance of ergonomic practice. It could prevent permanent damage to our body.

Well, thanks for trying it out. I bet you are pretty at typing, because you didn't make any typo mistakes at all. I am typing this line with my eyes claosed as well. But I still make typo mistakes lol. I know it, but I didn't want to tcorrect it as weell. Hahaha, this is fun right? But if I type with a slower speed, and with my eyes closed, I could type without much typo mistakes. Thanks for your amusing response and have a nice day munhozmib!

Hello munhozmib, I see, seems like you an excellent in typing too. Initially, I thought it was the same by not looking at the keyboard and by closing our eyes. But I found that it's not the same. If you are not confident in what you typed, you will get confused when you are not looking at the screens. But for my case, I made less mistakes when I am typing with my eyes closed . It surprised me, but I think it's possibly because I can concentrate better when I do not look at the screen. It's just temporary when my eyes got so stressed and I typed with my eyes closed because of this. All the works in company came in the same time and I still online after work for Mylot. Thanks for your concern, I am doing good now, but I still practice that because to rest my eyes more. . I usually will take a break once every hour. Thanks for your response, and have a nice day!

Before you read it all, I would like you to know that this was all writte with my eyes closed. And damn, I think I have missed the written word above. I am not sure. Typing with my eyes closed is certainly harder than writing with them looking at the screen!! lol Help me! I am glad you are doing fine. And you probably have a lot of confidence for writing with your eyes closed. I must say that I am scared of seeing how many mistakes Imade. i WILL JUST SUBMIT WITHOUT RE-CHECKING. i MEAN, WITHOUT CORRECTING THE WRONG WORDS.

That's cool, to amaze your kids. I have surprised my friends and colleagues too, to type without looking at the screen or keyboard, while talking to them! I am happy that I learned this skill when I was in teenage. It proves to be useful, and could still impress those who don't know yet. Besides, I have taught my friends on how to learn the typing the correct way. I think it's getting much easier now, with the emergence of typing training software. Thanks for your response and have nice day shymurl!

That's cool indeed, to type something while watching the movie or attending to other stuff. I do that sometimes too, but ended with a lot of typo. In fact, I could type better with my eyes closed, without all the visual distractions. Actually, watching television while doing Mylot is a very good idea. You could acquire the knowledge while having the fun of discussions. Besides, you could apply what you are watching directly into your discussions too!

Yeah, that's very true. I do occasionnally end up watching tv or a movie while do mylot.

It's good that you never stress yourself. I should adopt your practice. But Mylot is such an interesting place, that, at times, I just couldn't help continue typing. I agree that many have joined Mylot for money. My initial motive here is also for money. But after some time, I feel the pleasure of discussing interesting topics. I think many other Mylotters have similar experience too. Those who are profit oriented people will leave Mylot once they found that it's not a very lucrative deal. So, those who stays long are enthusiastic people who really like discussions!

Ya, I didn't expect to get so many response to this discussions . I am more than happy that I got more than 40 response after 3 days I started discussions. Thanks for your support and amusing response Paula1966 Well, I have been having the similar scenario as what you experienced too. I will just turn my head to my colleagues or friends when they are interrupting me while I am typing. And, same like you, I don't want to just stop because I tend to forget what I was typing, so my fingers keep on typing until I finish my sentence, while attending to the conversations. Of course, if we need to make a complicated response other than a simple 'yes' or 'no', then inevitably I need to stop typing and start talking to them. . Recently I found that my colleagues might find that I look weird to type with my eyes closed. So, I stop doing that and found out an alternative solutions. I just look at elsewhere, instead of the laptop screen, and keep my fingers busy typing. In this way, my eyes are relaxed for a short while too.

Seems like you might have internet or browser connectivity problem, because of this redundant response. Don't worry, I won't penalized you (just kidding) . I experienced that many times too, because my internet connection is not stable here. I keep on trying to reload my submissions several times, without knowing that it's been uploaded successfully.

Hi, I found you! You are doing similar things when you are tired of looking at the screen. Because it seems to me that majority of Mylotter didn't get me. I was so obsessed in the discussions, and was eager to finish my comments that day, and thus I just closed my eyes for rest, but my fingers still continue typing. I am glad that you are feeling the same and did the same thing too. Even the eyes are half closed is better than no rest at all. It looks weird when people saw me typing with my eyes closed in the company. So, I have found out n alternative to look at elsewhere while typing. So, in this way, I don't look so odd, and I could rest my eyes from looking at the screen as well. Thanks for your hilarious and interesting sharing shiloh_222!

That's right. If you could type in the right way, without looking at the keyboards, then you will automatically close your eyes when you feel the stress and fatigue. I think it's normal for people who look at computer screen for long hours. I just wonder how many mylotters did that! It's great that you didn't make any typo mistakes too, when you were typing with your eyes closed. So, you are good in typing indeed! Thanks for trying and have nice day in Mylot! Remember to get to sleep when you feel sleepy. Or else you will fall asleep while typing!

You are most welcome Ganesh44, and thanks for your kind response and compliments too! Well, I just got the idea into my mind when I was typing with my eyes closed instinctively, due to fatigue of my eyes. I was stressed but was still eager to continue with my discussions in Mylot. So, I am curious about wether other mylotter do it or not. End up, I found that I made less typo mistakes when I type with my eyes closed, as a result of better concentration. How amazing!

I totally agree with you AndrewFreyne. The skill of typing with all fingers is a gift. I have seen people typing in such manner since I was in teenage, and I feel that it's really cool to type in such a way. Therefore, I promised myself that I need to pick up this skill one day. In those days, I didn't have a computer. You know what, I was practicing with a type writer . Now, I type with my eyes closed intermittently, to give it a rest, like what you are doing too. Thanks for your sharing of typing experience, and have a nice day!

Keep on training yourself syfarisk and don't give up! You will master the skill of typing soon with consistent effort. I have been learning with consistent exercise everyday until I learned all the keys. You will learn that it's fun to type with all ten fingers. It's cool indeed . Once you got more confident, you can go ahead to try out typing with your eyes cool. What you said is right, you could develope a better sense of where all keys are when you type with your eyes closed. Thanks for your response and have a nice time in Mylot!

Good try olivia18888! Seems like you having just a little typo errors. It's very normal to have that. I used to made many typo errors too, even when I type with my eyes open. But strangely, I made less typo errors with my closed. That's why I wonder if it's because I can be more concentrated if my eyes are closed while typing. It feels good to type with my eyes closed, and once you got used to it, it's fun actually. You won't be distracted by other visual interruptions. So, when you keep on learning to type with eyes closed, you could improve your typing over time. By the way, I am happy that the spelling checkers in Firefox is able to help me reducing the typo errors significantly. Happy posting and thanks for trying out typing with your eyes closed.

That happened sometimes, and it's very normal. It's good to have computer nowadays. I remember in those days, I learned to type using a type writer, and it would be messy and tedious to type it wrongly. If you are typing a very important document, you need to start all over again if you typed something wrong. So, you should develope a better sense of the keyboard. I usually use the two key guide on the "F" and "J" buttons, which most keyboards have, to guide my fingers. In such away, you could have a better alignment with the keyboard, to ensure you hit the right key always. Thanks for sharing your experience with typing and have a good day morningstar369!

You are most welcome. I am glad that you have tried to adopt the practice to give our eyes a short twenty seconds rest, for every short intervals. I think this will help us a lot! . That conforms to the saying mentioned by you, a short rest could keep us going further. Thanks again for your informative and kind response, hope you have a nice weekend!

Hi lkbooi, sometimes when I am in a good mode for Mylot, I can work very hard. Because I just couldn't stop discussing about interesting topics, even if my eyes are tired. Actually I seldom stress myself too much, unless there is some urgent things that need prompt actions. Actually there was a responder that showed me a tips on how to give our eyes some rest. We should look at objects that are 20 feet away for 20 seconds once we feel our eyes are tired. Or do it more often especially after looking at the screen for long hours. I found that it's useful and my eyes are more relieved. That's really funny, I think you might have fallen asleep if you typed with your eyes closed. In fact, the best way is to stop doing Mylot when we are tired and get some rest, instead of forcing ourselves to continue. What you said is very true, a short rest can bring us go further. Thanks for your meaningful response and have a nice day!

It is true that when come across discussions which we are really interested we could hardly stop for sharing views and feeling with our friends here. Very often I prefer to keep on typing until the next early morning though I know to go to bed after 11 o’clock in the night is not good for our health. Here I would like to express my gratitude to you and one of the responder you mentioned above as well for sharing the valuable information of how to take care of our tired eyes. I will try to look at objects at a distance about 20 ft away for 20 seconds to relax my tired eyes. I hope after doing this my eyes would get refreshed again and could keep on typing efficiently. I utterly agree with you, when we feel tired the best way is to have proper rest straight away instead of forcing ourselves to keep on working. Yeah, we must always keep in mind: proper rest can bring us to go farther. You are very much welcome and take care

Ya, now I am more relaxed in Mylot. That's why you will find that I have been idling since last month. There are a few reason, my work load in the company became so heavy that I really didn't have time for mylot at all. Besides, I found some part time translation job, so, again my time during night time was used up instead. Thanks for your kind response and advice, I will not force myself too hard again. Typing without looking at the keyboard is what I learned typing with a old type writer.

I am pretty sure you have tried typing by closing your eyes, because of the typo you have made. But first of all, I would like to apologize for being late in responding to your comments. In fact, I didn't expect to receive so many responds in such a short time. It took me days to respond to all of them, on first come first serve basis. That's why I was late. Coincidentally, it just happened that when I was preparing to reply our comments, you made another one. I hope you don't mind about this. Actually, I can make out what you want to express, although they are in wrong order. But, anyway, thanks for trying out and making amusing response. Appreciate that, and hope you have a great weekend jbrooks0127!

I see my attempt at humor left you a bit speechless. Of course you are right.

Well, it's worth trying. But it would be much better if you could learn typing will all ten fingers. Once you have mastered the skill, you find that it's not a problem to type with your eyes closed. Besides, I bet you will find that it's fun too! I didn't do it intentionally actually, just did it instinctively, due to fatigue of my eyes after staring at the monitor for long hours. Thanks a lot for your response and have a nice day Athrun_9738!

Yeah, you should give it a try. It's fun actually. Besides, you could train yourself to type better with such training. You can develope a much better sense of feeling the keyboard. It will be a totally new experience to you, trust me. It's not only useful if we got blind. Aside from what I have mentioned above, we can relax our eyes while typing too. It's not good to stare at the screen non-stop for too long. Thanks for your response and have nice day!

Happy new year to you too, williamjisir. Thanks for your kind response, and thanks for trying out as well. It's very normal to make a little typos. I think you are typing very well, by making very mistakes in the try out above. Sometimes, I did worse than that Luckily with the spelling checker of Firefox, we are able to spot the typo easily, as you can see with the red dotted underline.

Hi jisir, I’m glad to know that you can type lots of words correctly without looking at the keyboard . I’m happy too, I can type 90 % of the words correctly not looking at the keyboard If typing certain figures, punctuation, and those unfamiliar symbols I still have to look at the keyboard. Doing more typing work here at mylot here frequently could enhance the skill of typing unconsciously
