If I am doing technical stuff, like trying to figure out why a say a "windup" didn't work right, I might have a electrical schematic, a control schematic, a monitor and printout with the ladder logic, a motor drive manual, and numerous notes all spread out at once on "anywhere that is convenient" and has a good light (hopefully.)
When I am doing my occasional author stuff, I will have notes, current written text, reference paper books (open or with the old fashioned book marks, or even a small piece of tape with writing sticking out on the side or top) on top of a writing table or desk. (Or even on the wall on some big whiteboards.)
I like to have a view of everything. It allows my eyes as well as my thoughts to jump about so my mind can pull it all together and make sense of it.
