I've never grokked Virtual Desktops (I used to use DexPot years ago on XP). You anyway carry the list of windows open in your head in that horrible background energy-sucking way that multi-tasking does to you (not to mention the fancy wallpaper background that you set to remind yourself the purpose of each desktop, all multiplied by number of virtual desktops!). Instead, I write down all the TODOs that I need to attend to after the most important thing (or use JIRA), and just focus on that one thing. The number of windows open = what I need right now to get work done.
One thing at a time + work after good rest + be good at it + love what you do = productivity. It's a narrow path. Skip any of these and you're fooling yourself, IMHO.
- mixedCase 10y agoIn my case I keep using the same desktops for the same things. I keep the main browser instance on 1, my main work is on 3, music is on 9 and so on. With an indicator on my top bar that tells me which virtual desktop has windows open and some weeks of use, it became second nature and now cannot live without such a system without losing productivity big time. Anything else feels extremely inefficient!
