With the help of foxon@foxon, I finally took the plunge and got myself a second monitor.

Not only that, but I got myself a Raspberry Pi 4 8 GB(yea I wanted the 8 gb even though I'm probably never going to use that much) but a wireless keyboard/mouse combo and a desk clamp for the monitor. And it was one of the best purchases ever.

I never really got the appeal of a second monitor until I thought I could benefit from one recently and I went and got one. Well now I don't know how I did it without having one. The second monitor makes things so much easier, especially while programming. I can have code pulled up on one screen, the final product/documentation or specs pulled up on another so I don't need to go back and forth on it so often.

More often, I use it to keep texts/chats open on one screen and actual work on the other. Usually the monitor is the main one because I can have better posture while using it(no need to slump down to see the laptop screen). Worth it? Very much so and I'd recommend that you do the same if you can afford it. It's not something I thought about much before, but now it's something never knew I needed.

Next goal? A proper chair. Was using a 5+ year old computer chair and the layer of "leather" was ripping away and making a mess so I switched to a regular chair. Hope to get this within the next few months.
