These days, I work on a 13-inch MacBook Air. On workdays, I connect it to a second display—a 17-inch ViewSonic monitor. My laptop serves as the primary screen, with my Dock at the bottom, and windows arranged somewhat haphazardly: Almost all apps live on the right (laptop) display, with extra Safari windows offloaded to the second monitor.
This approach is totally normal to me. But I've come to realize that while maybe no man is an island, almost every Mac is: Everyone uses a different desktop setup. And it's interesting to learn how other folks use their Macs, because it might influence how you do things.
If there's in one thing I learned in talking to several fascinating people about how they use their Macs, it's this: A lot of people—including me—don't use Spaces, Mission Control, or Full Screen apps. But what do they use?
When my desktop is this messy, I know I need to clean it. The downside is that it looks like this pretty much all the time.
