Do you feel more productive with fewer screens (self.neurodivergent)

I've always had a bunch of screens when working. Recently, I've been using just my laptop without the extra screens and I find I can focus more. Is this a typical thing?

I like 2 screens. It's not overwhelming but also allows me to do more things at once. I've had 4 screens at work at one point and it was way way too much. But after running 2 screens for years, at this point, I can't go back. I feel like I'm severely limited with just one if I need to do work things.

I'm finding it more and more difficult to keep focus when I have more going on. My thinking is to keep distractions out of the way. However, it isn't easy when reading docs on a single screen while trying to work.
