I believe it's an evolution of understanding what works for you and what doesn't. Experimenting with different approaches may be the best course of action. From Floutwork's design perspective, the goal is to display only one thing to the user at a time. This is deliberate to maintain focus. When your eyes catch something, your mind starts paying attention to it, often without you realizing, leading to a loss of focus. This is why working in a browser full of tabs can be distracting. If your eyes wander, seeing an updated inbox count in another Gmail tab title can divert your attention, making you wonder who might have sent you an email. Imagine the friction points introduced into your workflow simply by seeing items that shouldn't demand your full attention. In Floutwork, when you're checking your emails, your Outlook or Gmail becomes the primary view commanding your full attention. Once you're done with that, you can easily switch your view and context to, let's say, a design project in Figma by clicking on the Figma icon in your sidebar. Now that becomes your full view. You don't have to worry about a cluttered desktop. For those rare cases where side-by-side viewing is needed, 'Split View' functionality is provided. Closing it returns you to your original view with just one click. |

My problem is juggling all the balls in the air for a large number of in-progress tasks.
Presently my information landscape is split "vertically" by communication medium - here's all the email, here's all the chats, here's all the notes, here's the design projects, here's the slide decks, etc. What I want is rather to split it "horizontally" by task - here's everything related to task X.
People I have discussed this with have joked that what I need is a good Personal Assistant instead, haha. They have a point though.
