I guess back from Windows 95 days, I always had this weird habit of closing programs.

That changed when I switched to Mac OS X as my primary OS. But I still closed applications at the over five mark.

It really changed when I got a SSD and having many programs open without much issues. Plus RAM upgrades.

But whenever I Alt-Tab, seeing all those icons still drives me crazy, even though performance isn't affected.

Right now I have open:

1. iMessage
2. Calendar
3. iTunes
4. Spotify
5. A todo list app
6. Word
7. A Twitter client. I hate the site itself, but clients are better.
8. Text Edit--The Mac's Notepad
9. An RSS Reader
10. The Mac App Store
11. Another standalone writing program
12. Kindle
13. Apple Mail
14. Safari (3 tabs)

On my MacBook Pro:

• Slack
• Chrome (six tabs open)
• Excel
• Two instances of the dev environment I use at work
• TextMate

Multitasking is one the things I like best about using OSX. I have no use Apple's main applications like Safari, Mail, Calendar, etc., but Mission Control with trackpad gestures is fantastic. I have two external monitors hooked up, with two desktops for each of those and three for my main display. I'm usually running a Windows 10 VM, too, and this thing never skips a beat.

My laptop is a mess. Also keep getting notifications to restart it (which I haven't done in over a month) so Windows can update. Should be looking for a new one but this one has to do for another year.

that's it

always close what's not used, just like on my phone

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Never more than one or two things open at a time for me. At most I might have iTunes for music, a browser for browsing, and my work stuff open at once.
