With a single screen, there is a lot of window-switching when I consult documentation, whereas a dual monitor setup makes sure the documentation is always there and I don't need to switch between any windows (or virtual desktops for that matter). However, my most recent long stretch of using a single screen (by having to use a laptop on the road) has convinced me of how helpful a two-monitor setup is. From time to time, I've wondered whether the second monitor is overkill. My primary setup is a desktop with two monitors. I and my boss both make sure this is a win-win and my wife has an agreement to call twice or more if she needs to get hold of me before next time I check Telegram. My boss has stopped caring where I work from and when so as long as I work on my real job (working for a client now) I'll just work from home if my wife wworks night. : neither me, my wife nor my boss woukd like that - it's just too practical for my boss that I can make a note when inspiration strikes - outside of work, read work related materials whenever I come across them - even outside of work etc. What do I know: some of my habits are weird but works for me but this stuff sounds weird to me :-/ I'm not talking about 100% separation between work and personal life, I'm talking about being a programmer, discussing on HN how distractions and interruptions ruins flow - and then running twitter and what not in the workspace.

I also have Telegram running and I check HN when I am stuck. I think Cal Newport must be having a free healthy daily dose of laughter given every Tom is referring to Deep Work when talking about Focus!

Trying to do this on a 13/15" real estate will make me work at a snail's pace or even negative pace for the constant switching. But there are many tasks where a multi monitor setup makes you feel how you lived without one for long? Sample: When I work on an Xcode app, I have one primary 25" monitor fully dedicated to Xcode (IB, editor, inspectors etc) and the second 22" monitor dedicated to Xcode docs, browser with relevant docs/tabs (no email etc), terminal all arranged with Moom. Of course if one is using a multi monitor setup to do multi tasking, that is not really recommended. That is not a multi monitor setup being useless problem, it is a problem of you not having a use case for multi monitor setup. May be for the author's needs a single monitor suffices, he earlier had a multi monitor setup, so he ended up using the excess which made him unproductive. Just had no desire to read further, I started with the impression that there will be some strong arguments against multi monitor setup. to display multiple things simultaneously? If my email or social media feeds are available at a glance, then I’ll check them constantly
