I know this isn’t a huge deal for minimalism, but as a tech fiend and nerd - I decided to dial down to 1 monitor from 3. The impact on my mood is almost night / day. It was becoming a little overwhelming for whatever reason.

I felt like I had to keep something active on the extra screens when they were on, or at least do something ‘useful’ with them. I know this is obviously only in my own head, and slightly irrational. But some days, you just can’t help but be irrational and it’s a relief to get rid of the other two screens. They’ll be in a box for now, and I can pull them out if the need arises, but if I haven’t touched them in a while - I might be selling them.

Did anyone come to a similar type of experience with their computer setup/workstation area?
