Working at The College Board, I was lucky enough to have two monitors. While at first I thought it was just an example of corporate excess, I quickly realized how useful it is to be able to see more than one thing at a time.
Now I'm working on a paper where I'm only using online materials, and while flipping back and forth between tabs, pdfs, Word documents, and so forth, I got the idea to split my screen. It's not the same as two monitors, but it actually helps me keep focused on one thing while I write on the document. See?
If only I'd known to do this while still in college. Oh well, I've got the master's ahead of me.

Smart man. I have never tried splitting my screen before, although I agree that having two monitors is addicting.
ReplyDeleteGood idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Matt. I'll probably be calling you sometime to teach me how to split the screen. You make life easier!
