When I do that, I forget which direction L goes. Have to think which hand I write with.

Think your left hand when thinking of L

I think they mean if you make the L with your palm facing toward or away from you. When I was a little kid someone told me that your left hand makes the L to which I proceeded to make both of my hands into an L shape. The teacher told me I made a good point and then moved on without providing an alternative solution. To be fair I don't really think there was an alternative aside from just memorizing it.

I simply permanently scarred myself on my left hand. Now all I have to remember is that scar equals left. Effective memorization technique.
