Switching to an old-school 4:3 Monitor
I decided to retire / sell my glamorous 32" 4K monitor and replace it with a 19" 4:3 monitor I got for ten bucks. So far, it's been working great and I've gotten used to this setup wayyy quicker than I initially imagined.
Honestly, I feel much more focused on my work and I'm glad that I can finally, realistically use a horizontal split without giving up too much of my vertical screen real estate.
Looking back, it's kinda funny how I thought that a larger monitor would make me more productive, where the only thing it did, was to distract me more and more by having all of this information on the screen at once.
