“Good uses of dual screens
These are all instances where you’re using one screen to “lift” the other.
Keep your task list on one screen while you do work on the other. I find it powerfully productive to have a mind map on one screen while I work on the other. It’s especially helpful if I’m doing highly technical work with lots of steps, and I want to record a mixture of completed tasks, future tasks, and thoughts.

Make spreadsheets wider, or put two related spreadsheets side by side.
Read PDF on one; write or work on the other."
