Often the old monitor has the TO DO list or a design so I'm reminded what I'm doing.
The main two windows usually have something like the following:
1. main file/documentation
2. main file/subclass data model
3. design file (e.g. DB schema)/requirements
4. tests/design file
5. main file/tests
Sometimes I do need a little more, so that's where the other monitors come in. But for the most part, one window one file helps.
