I've been playing with spaces over the last few days, mainly because I often find myself drowning in app windows.

Here's how I have it organised at the moment. This is all on a single 24in monitor.

For those windows folks who don't a mac, this is OSX spaces. It's basically a stack of desktops that you can fast-switch between. I use Cmd-1, Cmd-2 keyboard shortcuts to switch to appropriate space. Or, just throw mouse up to top right of screen to zoom out for the overview of all 4 spaces (as shown above).
