i'm curious! do you use workspaces (multiple desktops) in your os of choice?

@thingywott i find having virtual workspaces that i can't consistently see means they disappear from my working memory and become clutter. same with having too many browser tabs, or even just having many programs open but minimised. i just forget they're there until they get in the way

@cinnamon oh, i feel you with browser tabs. i aggressively close those whenever i can justify doing that

i guess i just developed a habit where each desktop is for a specific thing i wanna hyperfocus on without distractions from anything else i might also have in the works

when i am on one, nothing else exists--i can focus fully with my often-fullscreen windows relating to a single topic without clutter from unrelated things

that clutter belongs on desktop 1 until i decide to split it out
