i've been thinking of what the most efficient way to use your monitor or screen space is? do you usually just use windows that cover the whole screen? or how do you divide your windows and apps on the screen? do you leave for example firefox window cover the whole screen? and just alt + tab to other programs or apps?

I use an iPhone and iPad for all my personal computing stuff, so this is just my work setup. 4k 32” that has most things:

left 1/4ish is MS Teams
middle 1/3ish is Arc (had been Chrome)
top right 1/4ish is iMessage
bottom right 1/4ish is MS To-Do

MB Pro is open to the right of the 32”, always had Outlook.

My main actual non-web applications are Excel and Word, and those float around wherever is important for the moment, usually multiple, side by side.

I use an application called Moom to arrange the standard stuff into pre-defined regions.
