4 - 6 depending if I have my laptop setup and open beside me. I find myself mainly focused on the large center one with my IDE and the bottom two for reference material and to view what I am working on. The top screen I tend to use as a whatever, a lot of the times it holds YouTube or whatever I am listening to, chat apps, etc… The laptop and small monitor I tend to not use much, when I do it will typically be a terminal running nodejs watch processes.

I work two jobs from home and find there can be overlap. This along with virtual workspaces allows me to organize things a bit.
