I just Super into overview and switch windows. That’s as workspacy as imma get. Sometimes I’ll get fancy and tile browser tabs with pdfs and writing tho. Still always in one workspace.
Did you forbid yourself to do anything else on the laptop until you are done with the task?
(If I’d also ban myself from using my phone or TV, I’d start reading books)
but big screen occupied for the Task
Big screen is playing reruns of Comfort Show™ while medium screen is set up for the Task and small screen is occupied stimulating the dopamine gland.
Workspaces help you compartmentalize your dread and regrets.
Most people don’t even know what workspaces is. I know and never got into the habbit of using them.

I have no object permanence when it comes to my desktop, and I forget something exists when I don’t see it. So I choose to have tiled windows instead.
I try to avoid any kind of scroll-type behavior on my desktop. Desktop is for actual work, or hobbies that require actual focus and labor.
If I infect the big screen with mindless content consumption, I’ll ruin the quarantine.

I have 10 occupied workspaces at any given time. You can also use different browser profiles for work/school and fun!
