Learning steno: Day Three

Still just chugging along in blind letter mode on Fly. I do a short warmup with the input chord and key highlighting displayed, then turn it off and see how many chords I can remember without looking. I'm getting better.

Interesting article in Wired on learning: recall is the best reinforcement, but it's most effective if you just barely recall the thing you're learning. Practice again too soon, and you're not learning as effectively as if you've nearly forgotten everything. I'm running Fly for ten minutes or so, twice a day, and I think it's probably about as effective as it could get.
