The basics are: I have a virtual desktop per customer (Ubuntu Gnome), one Firefox window per desktop and I use container tabs to be able to log multiple times in the same service with different accounts. One emacs window per desktop, one terminal per desktop, etc.
I use a password manager and I keep a desktop for me (email, WhatsApp web, telegram.)
Unfortunately the Slack desktop app can't be split in multiple windows. I have to move it among desktops.

Good idea, never thought of using Firefox container tabs. May be able to do a similar thing with Chrome profiles.

I actually go a step further and use separate Firefox profiles per project/client... That way, you can have unique plugins/bookmarks/passwords and its easy to backup. You can just create multiple Firefox shortcuts on your desktop with the '-P "profile"' and -no-remote and -new-instance options.
