- The author struggled with focus and decided to experiment with using only a laptop screen instead of a large monitor.
- Working on a single screen reduced distractions and made computer use more intentional, improving focus and reducing time wasted on multitasking.
- Ergonomics are crucial; using a laptop stand or monitor arm with a VESA-mounted holder is recommended for better posture and setup.
- The switch lowered power consumption and eliminated issues with a dock affecting the network.
- Exceptions include gaming, where a big screen is preferred for immersion and detail.
- The experiment resulted in a pleasant and focused experience, though objective measurement is challenging.
