How to make a spacebar counter

Do you ever find yourself struggling with deadlines or keeping up with your daily quota when typing? An easy way to increase your productivity and keep on track is by using a spacebar counter. A spacebar counter is a tool that counts how many times the spacebar is pressed and assists in monitoring the speed of typing. By using this helpful tool, you can improve your work speed and get more done in less time.

Here's how you can make and use a spacebar counter:

1. Gather Materials: You will need a stopwatch, some tape, and a piece of paper.

2. Make the Counter: Tape the paper over the buttons on your keyboard, with a small area for the space button exposed (so it will still depress when it's time to type). Mark down each number from 1 to 8 (these will serve as your 8 steps) across the top of the paper.

3. Start Your Stopwatch: As soon as you begin typing, start the stopwatch to keep track of elapsed time. Each time you press the space key (which should be marked), move one number ahead on your paper counter until you reach 8 steps – then reset it back to 1 and continue counting each successive keypress of the space bar as if it were your first press again.

4. Monitor Your Speed & Progress: The stopwatch gives you an accurate representation of your efficiency as it will help to identify areas where more attention could be paid in order to improve speed or accuracy during future sessions. Keep taking notes on what worked well for each session or any changes that need to be made for future sessions, so that you can continuously improve your performance.
