Honestly? Do it more often.
At my last startup, we all worked from our laptops with no external monitors. I got used to it after a few weeks, and found myself able to work fine like that for 2 years.
When I switched jobs and finally had access to a huge apple cinema display, it felt way too big. What do I need all this space for? Of course, I got used to that after a couple weeks, and now I have a hard time coding when I'm away from it.
I've noticed the same thing when I travel with only my tiny chromebook (with crouton): the first week it seems painfully small, then it's normal. And when I go back to my 15" mbp, it seems unnecessarily large.
YMMV, but my experience has been that whatever I use for a week or two is fine for me.
- mahyarm 13y agoAnother part of it is what your software is designed for. I honestly think xcode 5 was designed for 27" 1440p displays. I was always frustrated with xcode on a 1080p display until I moved to a 1440p display with it.
- fishtoaster 13y agoGood point. I do almost all of my work in vim or a terminal, which maximize my text-editing space. I could see feeling cramped in an IDE with lots of side displays and menus.
