I remember that zuo is left because there’s a Beyonce’s song Irreplaceable starts with “to the left to the left”. So I just remember Beyonzuo and its left.
the pinyin for 左 is zuo which reminds of the character 做 and inside of the character it looks like the character 工 so i thought about it as your left hand is used to 做工。
The part under the radical looks like if you were to put your left hand up and make an “L” with it which indicates left. Also, you can remember that the top of the character is like an upside-down “L” for left.

Looks very similar to 在, just differs by two lines. Looks like this 工作的工 beside this roof/overhang like like structure.

This character means “left” because it looks like an object is to the left of a person
