A technique is how a task is done. For example, someone who doesn’t have proper typing technique hunts and pecks while typing on a keyboard. However, someone who has proper typing technique and doesn’t have to look at the keyboard can type a lot faster.
How is a technique different than a skill?
A skill is anything someone can do with little or no thought because they either have a natural talent or a lot of experience. In contrast, a technique is only the method of how someone should be performing a task. For example, a new computer user may have the proper typing technique with their hands positioned correctly, but still type slow because they lack the skill learned from hours of practice.
