A laptop display is too small to see more than a single window. I always make my windows full screen.

For example right now I have the following windows/desktops:

0. Google Calendar + Gmail

1. Facebook Messenger

2. YouTube (music/podcast)

3. Terminal

4. Visual Studio Code

5. Documentation (5-10 tabs)

6. Google Colab

7. Google Cloud Console

8. Google Sheets + Docs

7. Wikipedia (20+ tabs)

8. Google Search (30+ tabs)

9. Hacker News (20+ tabs)
