Wow. I don't know how you do that -- it would make me crazy.
I generally have three windows open: Outlook, Firefox, and iTunes. (In that order, too. Taskbar Commander is one of my favorite little programs for reorganizing the windows in your taskbar.) If I'm working on something for school, then I'll have those windows open, but I never go more than one row. If that happens, I start closing windows.
As far as browsing goes, I almost always only have one window with no more than two rows of tabs. Even two rows makes me twitchy -- one row is best. If I'm reading my flist or message boards, I only open tabs when I know I have time to read/answer and then close them as I go to get back to one row.
I've been using the Taboo extension for Firefox to bookmark stuff I'd like to read later. I like to keep the bookmarks on my computer organized and at a minimum, so Taboo is great for all the random stuff I don't have time to read. Problem is, I never actually get around to reading them. I've come to realize that if it's not important/interesting enough for me to read when I open the tab, it's generally not important/interesting enough for me to read at all. Less is totally more for me.
