I made a slight modification to my monitor setup here at work. I have a little Lilliput monitor, one of the smaller ones that give you maybe a 6th of a regular monitor’s size. It has just enough extra screen real estate for keeping lists and whatnot, without it taking away from my main screen areas. Up until now, I have had it sitting below my other screens, however I never really ‘saw’ it. This morning, I decided to set it up above my middle monitor, directly opposite from where it used to sit. I have found that I spend most of my time looking up towards the top of my monitors. I don’t think it has all that much to do with creating stuff (upper-left quadrant of the brain) versus trying to remember stuff (bottom-right quadrant). I think it really has more to do with the fact that all of the command areas are at or near the top in most Windows products that I utilize. The taskbar is at the bottom, but I only search in that direction to better locate a window that has been covered by another, or to right-click for the Task Manager, or to click a menu selection from the toolbars that I have anchored there, or on the rare occasion to start a not-often used program from Start or to access Settings. I think I go to that section less than a 4th of the day, maybe. I’m hoping this new setup will be much better, so that I more readily update date my Clarity list so that I keep track of what I’ve done, and to review my to-do lists far more often than I have been doing. Only time will tell.
Thanks ….
