- Delayed gratification
Do you do whatever you want? Do you watch movies and shows every day? Do you delay useful stuff that you need to do, and instead get busy with something "fun"? Then, my friend, you need to know about delayed gratification vs. instant gratification. Ask yourself, before getting busy with any work, is it useful? Does it require active focus or passive focus? What are the gratifications I would get from this? And for each day, make a reasonable balance between the two types. Stay useful my friend.

- the need for a routine
I have many things I want to achieve. Time passes by without me noticing and most of my days are wasted in Youtube entertainment. The only way I see my dreams come true is that I stick to routines. To study what I want to know, to practice what I want to excel at, I must have a routine, with a starting trigger I can't skip, whether I am in the mood or not, when the routine is triggered, I have to do it. I will push myself at first, then the routine will push me to success.

- Addictive typing
Typing can be addictive because computers give instant feedback. The moment you press a key, you get the result. You feel rewarded by correct answers (keys). You feel unsatisfied with mistakes. You correct the mistakes to improve your typing muscle memory and to see progress on your statistics. And also live that progress as a reality when you actually see your speed and accuracy improve. We seek happiness and reward, typing websites give us that instantly.

- Why are typing exercises so addictive for me?
Late at night, after a day as a software developer, finally he comes home. He had his lunch and drank a nice cup of hot mint. Now, it's time for his new habit, typing, more accurately, "touch-typing". Since he saw those competitive programmers and their insanely high typing speeds, he wanted to be like them, or just get near as much as he can. That's where it all started, Keybr, 10fastfingers and finally the lovely Keyhero website. He is now officially addicted to daily touch-typing exercises.
