I’m right-hand dominant…I think. I write right-handed. I eat right-handed. If I’m playing baseball (har-de-har-har) I
bat and throw right-handed. I toss Frisbees
with my right hand. I throw a football with my right hand. That makes me
right-handed, right?
But, I carry my purse on my left shoulder. I wear my watch on my left wrist. I wear my fitbit on my left wrist. I carry stuff left-handed. I keep my coffee cup on my left. I use my left hand to lift and drink…mostly…though
sometimes (and most especially if I’m dining at an actual table) I’ll lift and
drink with my right hand. I hold playing
cards in my left hand. I use my left ear
when I’m on the phone. (Of course, I
attribute that to partial deafness in my right ear, so that’s really not an
awesome example.) I sleep on my left
side. Carrying things in my right hand
feels awkward. Wearing stuff on my right
hand/wrist feels awkward.
What, exactly does this mean? Someone with more knowledge than I have about
such things needs to enlighten me in words that I can understand. Please remember that I am not a doctor or a human
behavioral scientist – nor do I play one on TV.

Kit says you do those things on your left side to leave your right hand free to be available for more dexterity related tasks. You don't need to constantly function with those things on your left side. You put your workhorse tasks on your left side and do your thinking tasks with your right side.
That's an excellent thought. And you (well...Kit) may be right! It's better than anything I could have come up with!
