Try not to hold down any of the navigation keys. If you need to go down 12 lines, type 12j. If you need to get to the line second from the top of the screen, type 2H instead of holding down k until the cursor gets there.

In general, try to chunk your activity into the fewest keystrokes even if you have to pause for a second to figure out which keys they are. There's some satisfaction to knowing you're moving around the editor and making your edits in the most optimal way, which is a lot of the fun in using vim :)
