Yet working on the single screen of a laptop feels anachronistic. But what about a writer’s favorite place, the coffeeshop? I can’t lug my PC down to the coffeeshop. A single monitor now feels like a prison. The drawback to this dual-monitor setup? Lifestyle inflation. If I see a juicy fact, worthy of citing, I can read and rephrase the info for my audience and copy’n’paste the link directly into my text without intensive tab hunting or screen partitioning. You’ll also retain that elusive flow effect for even longer. The productivity boost is just that noticeable. If you use a similar setup, you probably know exactly what I mean. In practice this means I’m staring at my leftward display just about as often as my main, right monitor. On slower days, the left monitor could even include a bit of entertainment for when my brain overheats and needs a moment away. It can be sites I’m using as resources, product lists, or assignment details. My main screen has the text I’m typing away at and the second display has an assortment of goods. When I work at home, I use a dual display setup.
