1. Swap your control and caps lock keys, or if you never use caps lock set it to an additional control key. I think this is useful regardless of whether you use Emacs or not.

It's also a good idea to use opposing hands when using modifier keys. To press control-H, you would use the left control with your left hand, and the H with your right hand. Again, this is true regardless of using Emacs (it applies just the same to typing capital letters with the shift keys).

2. Load Emacs.

3. Press Control-H, then press T. This loads the Emacs tutorial. It should take about 10-15 minutes to run though.

If you use Bash/Zsh or Mac OS, the basic cursor movement in the very first section of the tutorial can also be used in the Bash/Zsh shell, and in many Mac OS textboxes as alternatives to the Home/End/PgUp keys etc.

4. Read the manual section on macros [1]. I don't know so many emacs-level-10-wizard level commands, but making a macro saves me a lot of time and thought at least once a week.
