    1. Open a text editior.
    2. Put your finger on home row.
    3. Close your eyes.
    4. Type and feel your finger move, imagine the letter on the screen.

    I sometimes imagine-type. I've heard that it's a decent way of practicing, according to some studies (on non-typing, but I believe it should transfer).

    When I started out touch typing, I remember fingering the layout away from the board, and after became somewhat obsessed for a short while, to the point of imagining typing in my dreams etc etc.

    My name's Pinkyache, and I've a habit.  Phew, got that off my chest.

    I also remember kind of doing a strange fumble, hope and hit on Ktouch one evening, and I flew through the exercises.  Though thinking about it, it was more a case of a monkey on a typewriter, eventually I'd hit the right key.

    A monkey-on-a-typewriter strategy might make your pinky ache though? ;-)
