Funny thing, for me I use my console on my Monitor because (like many people my age) don't have a need for a good TV so I still have a rubbish 720p TV. I do however, often play the console because its non-distractable. When I'm on my PC I get notification after notification, steam messages, my brain wanting to randomly browse, load up spotify or youtube etc etc. When I chuck my switch on the monitor, there are no distractions, its just me and the game. I still prefer PC gaming, but the console is almost a more "pure" experience due to the way my brain is wired to use the PC now, its a bit worrying really.

I used to have seperate accounts on my Windows installation for work, gaming, & casual browsing - all of which have very different themes and even applications (making sure I use an alternate browser to casual browsing is essential)... I took this to the extreme and now use a plain Antergos+i3 config for work, Solus for casual browsing/linux-friendly games, and Windows for the MS-only stuff. I'm a big advocate of clear partitions and interruptive practices for people who get soup-brain while using their PC. Since the worst form of that is straight-up, destructive, addiction.
