Depending on the configuration, one large widescreen monitor could be as good as two smaller ones. I'm going to write up about my work setup this coming week, stay tuned! dual-screens just offer more usable desktop space.

Can someone explain how their setup works? I’ve yet to understand how to program with dual monitors better than with one. Can someone explain how their setup works?

Opening the windows would be bound to help you concentrate more and feel refreshed after programming for a while. An alternative to programming outside might be programming in a room with lots of windows and sun light being able to come inside your room. If I had a lap top, I would have the perfect room on a bright, winter day with the sun coming off the snow. Assuming there's snow outside, otherwise it might not look so good. Otherwise, it would feel great to have some curtains and windows up to stay on my computer and work. But what if you are programming in a room with some windows?

Btw, coding outside (the office) can indeed do wonders for the productivity. Been there, done that myself on more than a few occasions. Thank you very much for the link Tony.

Though there's more to it than just writing code, so trips outside might be quite productive overall. Though I suppose <a href="http://compsci.ca/blog/benefits-of-programming-outside/#comment-100831" title="Comment above" rel="nofollow">Arun</a> should be asked about this, he seems pretty excited about writing programs near the beach ;) Getting all of the work done outside wasn’t really the idea, after all — typing code is more comfortable when there’s a desk and a dual-monitor setup.

What I do for relaxing because sometimes you may get your mind in blank is to make some walks, take a nice cup of coffee or smoke a cigarrette. It is important to clear your mind in order to continue programming. Software maybe sometimes difficult, specially when creating complex applications.
