No, _not_ one physical screen. I have poor eyesight but a good memory
so I usually keep to one thing per pane. However, I can keep all the
related stuff on one "desk" and switch to it when I want to work on
that project. The metaphor is a stack of 4x4 arrays of panes where each
pane is what you think of as a desktop. Everything on desk 0 has to do
with Chrony, everything on desk 1 has to do with music theory,
everything on desk 2 has to do with the Web site, etc. Even after
several days of not touching the music theory stuff when I switch to
that desk I have no trouble remembering that Solfege is in the upper
right pane.

Mine has gradually evolved over the last 15 years. It's been a long
time since I made any significant changes.
