It's spooky how obvious this is, yet how difficult it is to avoid personally, and how difficult to get other people at work to acknowledge it.
Surely, surely, surely, creating an environment where your employees can work should be worth focusing on?
It's also spooky how poor software is at managing this, or helping me manage it.
I want a meta-program that controls all other programs and has a big list of projects, such that I click one button and my computer goes into {project X} mode, another and it goes to {project Y} mode. This could include changing browser windows, reopening text files, ssh connections, help documents, bringing back window configurations, folders, anything at all computer wide.
And, key, it would mean the browser could crash and all the other project browsers wouldn't. I could reboot and minimal things would cause problems.
It would be like virtual desktops, but better. Or, like OS X virtual desktops, but for Windows.
