+### ideas/guidelines:
+- use this consistently accross all machines
+    - if something not applicable for a given machine, just don't have apps or screens
+      present, but maintain absolute position/numbering of each screen
+- structure the above so that programs which i'm likely to use with one hand off of the
+  keyboard (i.e. to use a trackpad, mouse, stylus, etc) are on the screens that allow
+  for one hand (i.e. the one still on the keyboard) to navigate those screens
+    - for me, using peripherals with right hand, so put programs likely to be used with
+      peripherals where my left hand can switch to them single-handedly (screens 1 to 5)
+
+## workflow/use notes
+
+- related to the layout above, my approach is to run almost every window in fullscreen
+    - note: on macOS, this is not mac's notion of fullscreen, which basically moves
+      windows to new workspaces/desktops when going to fullscreen mode; instead, when i
+      say 'fullscreen', the idea is taking up all of the normal screen (excluding the
+      menu bar at the top of the screen)
+- key bindings are set for moving window focus up/down (vim style: mod + k/j)
+    - the mental model here is that every fullscreen window is in a stack, so i can move
+      focus up and down the stack
+- for any app which can have tabs, pair the above mental model of a stack with a mental
+  model of a circular-linked list being in any position in that stack
+    - so, keybindings are also set for previous/next tab (vim style: mod + h/l)
+- all this said, it is better to keep things simple when possible and avoid having too
+  many windows and/or tabs open at one time; however, with the designated purpose for
+  each workspace and the mental models above, it rarely takes me long to find what i need
+    - examples:
+        - if i want a particular browser window, i jump to workspace 9, then move focus
+          up or down until i get to the window i want; if the window is right but i need
+          a different tab, i then just move "right or left" through my tabs
+        - if i want a particular music-playing app/tui, i jumpt to workspace 4 and move
+          focus up or down as needed to find it
+        - exception case: if i want a particular terminal workspace, i jump to workspace
+          8, but then i'm in tmux land and navigate via the methods i've set up for tmux
