What's your preferred way of keeping a track on multiple tasks?

Taskbar.
Windows nailed the OS market for a reason you know.

Well, it's /g/ and people here enjoy various kinds of autism. I wonder how various those kinds are.

If I'm given some riced WM screenshot, I barely recognize different elements.
Text description is enough.

Started an internship this week, so for the first time in months, I have to use Windows again, at the moment it's for a task where I have to have many different windows open at the same time, and I am on a single 1080p screen. I would kill for having virtual desktops, i3 and zathura* with my preferred binds.
* because adobe reader felt like it needs to implement tabs. It's not too bad, but I would prefer managing my open pdfs with i3's tabs.
Thinking about it, for that kind of workflow it would also be nice if Excel allowed to keep every table/worksheet thingie in its own window. Great for managing that with i3's tabs or horizontal splits. Gotta give credit to Excel though, you can navigate tables/sheets etc. almost exclusively with the keyboard.

also, to kinda stay on topic, it would be nice if i3 had a command that quickly displays all open windows in a searchable list, with indentation to visualize the hierarchies. Like this:1 -- Hsplit
/g/ - Technology - 4chan - Firefox
2 -- Hsplit
Vsplit
Vim - something.c
Vim - .vimrc
Zathura - Documentation
and so on and so forth. You could then quickly search, quickly kill, resize or move the windows and switch to them from that view. GUI or CLI, doesn't really matter.

Fuck this shit, I never use anything less than 3x1080p for work.
Virtual desktops sorted by task category.
web - self explanatory.
social - irc, social media, etc
multimedia - mpv, ncmpcpp, Inkscape, etc
file management - PCManFM, disk utilities, etc
documents - libreoffice, vim, etc
system - termite + tmux, split with htop and various system utilities.
No single workspace ever gets so crowded as to become unusable because each workspace is task oriented. It's very efficient, being able to press a single key be where I need to be with a Logitech G510 keyboard. I have keystrokes for window management bound to the 45 G-keys (15 G-Keys, 3 sets of bindings, switched with the 3 M-Kegs)
