If you are left handed, have you made any changes to how you use an organiser to make it work better for you?
And as always on Fridays, please feel free to discuss anything organiser related. I hope that you have a great weekend.
(I don't believe that there is any connection between left handed folk and the number 666!)
The Latin for left is sinister, hence many wacky superstitions. I tend to be ambidextrous, but write right handed. My mother always told me off for holding cutlery in any hand!! The Latin for right by the way is dextra... remembered from school days here!!!
ReplyDeleteWhereas Latin for right is dexter from which dexterous comes from even ambidextrous means two right hands to describe you being equally dexterous with both hands.
DeleteFunny how left is always bad and right is good! You keep on the right side of your boss not the left. It's common with a lot of European languages too believe.
How many from the older generations got taught to write with their right hand even though they were left handed writers?
However handedness isn't straightforward. I used to kayak with a guy who was 100% right handed but kayaker in whitewater using a left handed paddle. It's a known thing that not everyone paddles with a paddle that matches their handedness. I even know people who write righthanded but are left handed in n every other way too and not because they had a slap from their teacher when they tried writing left handed.
I reckon it's an interesting topic handedness.
I’ve switched from my beloved Franklin Covey Classic binders to Filofax’s a5. I am an underwriter, my hand ‘rests’ under the line, as opposed to being ‘hooked’ over the writing. The ring configuration allows me to ‘snake’ my hand through the center gap.
ReplyDeleteI never got on with FC inserts precisely because all the stuff I want to use is on the left hand side. I'd love to know what percentage of their users are lefties!
DeleteOh...that and the Sunday start to the week. That's just wrong.......:D

ReplyDeleteI was born leftie but the kindergarten teachers here forced me to be rightie. I do pretty much everything (write, played sports, cook/chop as a rightie except eat. Full on leftie and feels strange to hold cutlery with right hand to feed myself. But I never tried to learn to use left again - guess the rulers on the hand really did me in
