Spaces setup

My workflow is probably pretty specific, but I figured I’d document it for people looking for ideas on how to set it up. This one seems to work pretty well for me.

1. Terminal: for running stuff on my and other computers.

2. Textmate: writing mathematics, programming code, etc

3. Mathematica, MATLAB, and Papers

4. Mail and Adium

5. Firefox, Chrome, Safari

6. iTunes and VLC

I have this arranged in a 3×2 grid, such that Textmate is top center. From there I can navigate to terminal, math programs, and Firefox directly(control-{left,right,down}). It takes two navigations to get to communication programs and entertainment, which is good for concentration while working.
