This is exactly why I've gone back to using just one (admittedly, big ass 32") screen whereas before I had three (one was attached to a separate device where builds occured). I do have one other display, but it's stacked high enough up on my vesa pole above %PRIMARY_DISPLAY% so I have to tilt my head up quite a bit to look at it. Note taking app, a small monitoring dashboard, email, and a music player are up there. This means if it's not on my main screen, it's not on my mind until I make the conscious decision to move something over to it, or I need to drag something off of it. It's a behavior I had to force myself to train and become disciplined at. If it needs to come down to the main screen, it should under no circumstances STAY there if I'm not working on it. Benefits: attention is more intentional and deliberate, I can quickly glance up at something if needed, but I'm not straining my neck looking up because it's happening so infrequently. Intentionality is king. (edit: the only real problem with this particular bit of home office design is my macbook stays shut in a vertical dock, and since I haven't really made myself buy an external webcam, there are times I have to unhook things just to bring the Macbook out because there are people who are weirdly hung up about being able to 'see everyone's faces' on Zoom calls just to conduct an outage post mortem, which is annoying--but not annoying enough that it's made me want to spend even $20 on an external webcam)
