  That's pretty sad.

  At any one time I've got twenty shell windows open.  I find that
switching back and forth between tasks regularly (say, start a big
compile, go do something else, come back in twenty minutes, etc) helps
me maintain better productivity since I don't get burnt-out on one
task.
