Single Monitor for Work Focus (imgur.com)

I've been employed in the same company for the past 16 years as a systems analyst. Over the past 10 years or so I've always had 2-3 monitors (4 - 5 at times when I got real ambitious). Recently, I downgraded to a single 32" 1440p monitor and it feels as if I'm able to focus more intently on what I'm working on.

I'm not saying it will help everyone, but it's really helped me regain focus. So many distracting windows are now gone. No longer keeping tabs on Discord/YouTube/etc while working...well, not as much at least.

Has anyone else noticed an increased work efficiency when 'downgrading' to a single monitor setup?

Most of my coding happens on the monitor of an 15" thinkpad. No room for distracting stuff, atleast not visibly and missing emails or instant messages is way easier if they are just a single ping, thats drowned out by music, instead of a cascade of text scrolling by.

The big monitor is for less focused work or the odd day i actually want to look at multiple things at once to find an odd quirk happening in a bigger system.
