Additionally, I have a remote control session to my notebook on 1 monitor, and I have email (3 clients spread across 2 monitors), I have family chat on Kakao on others....I can go on and on, but at the end of the day, the point of doing this is you never have to hunt for the active window. With this setup, you just turn your head. You place everything where you know it is and it's there. Ping from a child? Just look up. Email from a client...just look left.

I NEVER have to hunt. It's ALWAYS there. Multiply those actions times 100 or more and you'll understand why I do what I do. I use all 18 monitors all day, every day. The time savings alone pay for the setup. GWiz subscribes to this lifestyle.

The sweet spot for me is just two screens. My main screen is an ultra-wide screen. I can open multiple windows on my main screen which usually consists of the main document I am working on and a comparative document beside it. The second screen is for Netflix, Youtube or whatever entertainment I am watching while I get my work done. If I had as many screens as you, I’d actually lose productivity from the distractions. The third undocumented screen is my cellphone where I prefer to get my texts and even my emails.
