An easy way to improve your non-dominant hand is to switch your computer mouse to the other side (this involves changing the left and right mouse buttons). It takes about a day or two to become at ease with this. I had to do rhis due to a shoulder injury and now I can easily mouse with either hand. Apparently this exercise is also supposed to increase your empathy! :-) Sabina
ReplyDeleteGood idea! I don't have a mouse, but I can do this with the touchpad!
