One monitor is for code and one is for docs, communication, misc programs I don’t need to focus on.

I don’t find this a distraction as my main monitor is code pretty much all the time. A quick glance I find less distracting than swapping desktops.

Likewise, each monitor on my setup has a specific use case and allows me to interact between very different systems.

- On the right, all the maps I use for planning and tracking - On the middle one, tables and databases and system tools, - On the left, communication feeds (email and chat).

I never "concentrate" on more than one screen at the time, but If I'm writing an email or I edit the database, I glance between screens to get the information I need.

What’s the physical layout of your screens?
A triangle pointing down.
