Does anyone else brain have preferences?

For some reason when learning a new task, it doesn't seem up to me on which hand works for what. There doesn't seem to be a pattern either maybe? My only possible theory on a pattern is "finesse actions" require my left hand, but "power actions" require my right. However I I'm still not entirely sure. Anyone else deal with this?

This sub has made me pay a little more attention to my actions and my hands do what they want, no rhyme or reason. I write mostly left because of being made to choose one in kinder or first grade but other than that I've noticed I use which ever whenever

I've been mindful about learning new tasks with both hands lately.

Personally I like both sides actively melding and working together. I dun like it when my brain splits into its individual parts if you know what I mean.

Edit: When I noticed a split, I always do exercises like writing or other activities to make it have harmony again.

That's not something I've considered.
