Here is good touch typing site, which doesn't force you to type stupid rows of random characters but adapts to your current efficiency per key. https://www.keybr.com/

How do you know that it's the wrong way? You might just haven't figured it out yet

I try to do this, but it often times derails into irrelevant (to the initial goal) tasks like "okay, let's Format this excel to look as pretty as possible", "now convert every expression into properly typed latex" and things like that. They might seem somewhat related or sometimes even productive, but result in me taking a long time to do something.

Any ideas how to keep these sub goals in direct service of the main goal?

(I also have an active ADHD diagnosis).
