There's a curve Now that I have i3/Sway configured as I like, I'm fast. Too fast, deliberately narrating what I'm doing when sharing my screen It didn't start this way. I was painfully slow until building enough familiarity and tweaks (ie: this window class opens on this workspace) As others have pointed out, it's easy to spend more time than you save. Spend effort on 'constants' -- I always want this here, and then build your workspaces on login That's saved me the most effort and time

I think I landed on using 4 workspaces and 5 scratch pads (most of the time). --- Workspace 1 : browser(s) Workspace 2 : code editor(s) Workspace 9 : music library/mpv Workspace 0 : signal Scratchpad - : zoom Scratchpad + : slack Scratchpad [ : browser (front-end development) Scratchpad ] : designs/notion/ChatGPT/etc Scratchpad \ : terminal --- What's your workflow?

  You're more of a workspace user than I, ironically - considering how much I mentioned them! I use the tabbed layout, the lazy way out of many-workspaces. I generally keep one workspace:display (three). Then splitting vertically/horizontally as needed. I use tabs as most would use workspaces Left-most is a monitor with portrait layout, meant mostly for long-form reading. That's where Slack and other infinitely-going things go. This is WS #3 Center display/workspace is WS #1, unmapped things go here. It's a 4K display, I never share it - so it's a nice catch all for potentially-sensitive things. Right-most is WS #2 - this is what I share, and is more 'the backup' for the primary. Things I do want to share are designated to go here There's a lot of organization I did for 'autostarts', assignments, and shortcuts - that are kind of hard to explain... but easier to show

    Adding to this, I realized a part I missed -- I use workspaces like folks would use scratch pads With the tabbed layout each display becomes a sort of permanent workspace. I then toss things I don't really care about into new workspaces as needed, sort of like a scratch pad Things that only start on certain days (mostly work tasks) go into these other workspaces by default
