One. I prefer deep focus into one thing: my code. I alt-tab to get to my app. That little gesture is just enough to require me to think about what I'm doing.

One. I prefer deep focus into one thing: my code. I alt-tab to get to my app. That little gesture is just enough to require me to think about what I'm doing. It's just too easy to change my glance from one screen to another; focus is ruined.
I have tried two or three screens before, but just got irritated by the noise.
I check email and hn on breaks. They don't have dedicated screens during work periods.
- weaksauce 17y agoIf you are on a mac you can check out a program called think. It blacks out the background and all other apps that are not being used but still gives you the ability to move toolbars and menus over to the second screen. I don't know if there is a similar program for the win/lin world.
