How to Increase your APM (Actions per Minute)
The easiest way to improve your APM is to learn all of the hot keys for the race you intend to play competitively. Not only does it allow you to react faster, but it will allow you to multitask very easily. Actually learning every single hotkey is very difficult. I used this training method to learn them within a few days.
1. Join a Co-operative game against a medium-very hard computer, and select a race of your choice.
2. Once that game starts force yourself only to use the keyboard hot keys to build buildings or units. Beforehand you could’ve checked up on some of the basic hotkeys, if you haven’t it is okay you will figure them out quickly.
3.Now you will probably be tempted to use your mouse to build buildings or units, but refrain from doing so. I know it is difficult to do at first but after a few games it becomes second nature.
