From watching them ... here are a few things I have observed:
- I never have to go hunting for my cursor (it's always on the same screen)
- all necessary (mute everything unnecessary) notifications and associated responses happen in one place (not notifications here and responses there)
- I split activity via "smarter" use of application windows and/or tabs (keep all of X type thing in one browser, for example, with Y type stuff in another browser)
- I use colors in Terminal to show what windows (with associated tabs) are doing what
All of my coworkers split these different categories of tasks onto separate monitors - making context switching much slower (first command-/alt-tab to the right application, then figure out which screen it's on, then figure out which window/tab in that application, then go refind whatever app they were in previously to get data needed for a new request/task/etc (which repeats the find-the-app-find-the-screen-find-the-cursor-find-the-tab/window process))
My process has worked quite well on both Windows and Mac machines - or Windows-on-macOS-via-VDI (which allows another level of task subdivision/separation)
