How often do you use your non-dominant hand?

[LadyDestani]

I'm not ambidextrous, but I have preferences on which tasks I do with each hand so I use them both almost equally.

Anything requiring pinpoint precision is regulated to my dominant right hand. This includes things like writing, drawing, and using chopsticks.

But there are many things I'm actually more comfortable doing with my non-dominant left hand, like driving. I can use a computer mouse or touchpad just as easily with both hands. I can text or scroll through my phone with either hand, but I often favor my left because my right hand is occupied with eating or something. My left arm is also much more flexible than my right, so I mainly use my left when washing because I can reach places like my back better.

Usually at least once a day. At work it helps me a ton.

pretty often

honestly, I can probably do the majority of things with either hand just fine. so it's just a small select number of things that get delegated hard to a specific hand

I guess I occasionally use my non-dominant hand? I'm left handed, but one thing I do is use a mouse with my right hand. I'm not sure why, but that's just how it happened, and I find it weird and unnatural to use it with my left hand. I also occasionally use my right hand to brush my hair. There's probably other things I do with it that I don't realize, but those are some things that popped up in my mind and are pretty every-day occurrences.

As a digital artist, I use my left hand quite often since it's the one that presses all the shortcut keys on the keyboard, while the dominant hand is the one holding the stylus for drawing.

Not that often really, I'm right handed

now that I think about it, I don't really use it all too much unless it's in tandem with my dominant hand {which is pretty often}.

 

[moonbyu]

i use it occasionally, but never to write or draw if that counts.

 

[Snek]

No, because I am snake. I don't have hands.
I thought I made this very clear...

 

[-Apples-]

I use my left hand for holding purposes only. I use my right hand for work and stuff.

 

[Sharksheep]

Pretty often. I've injured my right hand and wrist a lot. So I try to use my left for stuff that doesn't need precision

 

[Airysuit]

Occasionally when my other hand is occupied lol

Generally, I am left-handed. I write with my left hand. I brush my teeth with my left hand. And I use silverware with my left hand.

However, I use scissors and a computer mouse with my right hand.
