Hello guys, welcome to this session.
Wondering what I am doing?
What is today�s topic all about?
The topic that we are going to address today is the most demanded topic.
How to write fast?
Many students complain that their handwriting is good, they have proper subject knowledge
but they fail to finish their exams on time.
Does this have something to do with our writing speed or style?
Yes, so what are the ways to increase our speed�what should be done to write fast?
The first important thing is the tool used-Pen/ Pencil
Try using a lightweight pen which will help you to write effortlessly.
Use the same pen for practice and even during your exam.
Try not to put the cap at the end we dont want additional weight of anything.
Friends, we have to train our fingers and hand muscles to write fast.
How can we do that?
Ok tell me, how does any athlete achieve their running speed?
Yes, it is by practice that they train their body and build their stamina to run fast.
The same logic applies here as well.
Practice is the answer.
Try to copy a written part from any of your reference material and write them but time
yourself.
Suppose that you take 5 minutes to fill that page at your normal speed.
Next time write the same thing again and increase your speed.
Check whether you are able to finish that in a lesser time.
Each time try reducing the time until you get a constant timing.
That will give you your speed.
With that speed, you have to practice for long hours.
You may take small breaks in between but make it a habit to continuously write for 2-3 hours
because thats normally our exam duration.
But friends, during exams we cant simply copy and write.
You have to be thorough with your content knowledge so that you dont waste time thinking.
So first plan the flow of the answer in your mind and start writing it.
For free writing, practice or solve some previous year question paper or any answer or topic
which you have studied.
You may even ask someone to dictate certain parts and try to match up to their speed.
While writing, take care of the grip and pressure.
If you are holding it too tight and applying excess pressure you are wasting your energy
there.
Use a soft grip and normal pressure as it will help us write longer reduce fatigue and
muscle cramp.
Friends, I would suggest to initially focus on achieving the speed and then improve the
presentation and handwriting part.
But dont spoil your handwriting for the speed try to create a legible handwriting.
Also, check the size of your letters; dont make it too big because it will take additional
time to finish those letters.
Normal sizing would be preferable.
Apart from these tips, you may even try out these warm-up exercises:
1) We get those smiley faced balls made of foam in the market, squeeze it and relax,
try it 4-5 times.
2) Place 4-5 coins on a table, pick it and place it, pick it place it and repeat.
Use tripod fingers.
3) Tear small bits of paper and make paper balls.
Here again, using your tripod fingers.
4) Hold a pencil like you are about to write and using those fingers try to walk it towards
the end.
Walk it back and repeat.
5) Place a rubber band around the fingers and thumb, stretch it and relax.
Repeat the same.
By doing these exercises we are training our hand and finger muscles and this will help
us write longer without any fatigue.
So, I hope you found this session useful.
