How far away do you sit from a 13" screen?

It depends on if I'm using it on my lap or on a desk/table, but usually between 18" and 24". It does help that I've had PRK, so I have 20/20 vision, despite being in my 40s. (It was 20/15 when I got it done 7 years ago, but it's slipped a little since then.) Certainly people with vision problems might not be able to work comfortably on a 13" screen.

Yes I am definitely a bit more short sighted than that. I'm most comfortable with reading stuff on my 14" laptop about 12" from my face, so I only ever use it when lounging around, or playing videos.
Never needed to wear glasses, though I was borderline when I did my last check for my drivers license. Maybe eye surgery is something to consider!
Then the other three workspaces (I just have four arranged in a 2x2 grid) are for a particular topic or project. One of them is devoted to some ESP32 rust hacking I've been playing with. Another has a window open for a consulting gig I was working on recently (though that project has concluded, so I can probably clean that one up). And the fourth one is for a different coding project I'm working on.
I find this much easier organizationally than having them all in the same workspace, and having to dig through the various windows to get things where I want it when I switch context.
Perhaps I'm a little odd, though: this is a laptop with a 13" screen, and I do all my work and play on it, without an external monitor. So keeping unrelated things separate is useful for me to keep clutter down.
