Seven screens

I shared a picture with folks in the 200WAD migration Telegram group showing my home-office set-up dubbed "Mission Control." I stepped back and counted the number of screens that I sit in front of on a daily basis and that number is seven.

My iPad mini and iPhone are with me pretty much wherever I go. These are my main devices for content consumption. My MacBook Air is the perennial favorite for content creation. It's the device where I do most of my writing. These three screens are my personal devices.

I have two 24" wide-screen monitors that I've had ever since I started working as a consultant six years ago. You cannot work properly on a laptop for any length of time, and I got a deal on two Dell monitors that I could not pass up. For my one client, I cannot seem to extend the virtual desktop to span over the two monitors, so I use the other one for other tasks. It's very handy when I am delivering a presentation to see the preview of the slide deck on one monitor while the presentation displays on the other one.

I have two additional 24" wide-screen monitors that were sent to me by my second client (along with a laptop) back in May. Since it is a dedicated laptop and not a virtual one, I am able to use both screens fully. 
 
I'm sure one might inquire about the health of my eyes after looking at all these screens all day. I do wear "gamer glasses" with yellow lenses that help reduce eye strain. After today, I'll be on vacation for two weeks and no more seven screens for awhile.
