Just do whatever you're more comfortable with. My advice is to learn stuff on one side, then reteach the other side. But don't get 100% comfy on one side, or else you'll sorta screw yourself over like I did...oops!
But, if you're having problems, focus on one thing at a time. There really is no point to trying to make yourself learn 15 bajillion things in one sitting.
