Working on just the one screen can often mean constant switching between apps to view the information you need.
One way to speed up the process is to have a secondary monitor, so two apps may sit side by side. You will be amazed at how much time you save when you add up all those small amounts of time switching through apps.
We recently asked the Anywhere Working Twitter community how they work and it is clear Anywhere Workers are fans of using 2 monitors, sometimes even more.
@anywhere_work2 PC’s 4 monitors, 1 keyboard and mouse!! Definitely more productive!

@anywhere_work I much prefer two monitors (3 would be better). It does improve my productivity.

@anywhere_work yes, having 2 monitors does boost productivity. e.g. 1 for code, 1 for documentation

@anywhere_work Depends - I have one for work & one for browser so I can check what I’m doing for instance. Like 3rd for email/to-do

So I’m left wondering, if having an extra monitor is more productive, at which point does it become unproductive? 3 monitors? 4, 5, more? Let us know what you think on Twitter!
