What to do with a 5 monitor display?

First off, if you want a cheap multi-display setup, buy monitors from Goodwill. I managed to get my hands on 5 monitors for $4 each, all of the monitors work, but I'm now wondering what I should even do with them. I have discord on one, steam on another, a web browser, but that leave two screens. Any suggestions?

Mayby you shouldn't have bought that many monitors?

Your email inbox regardless app or website on 1 monitor. YouTube / Movies on 1 monitor. FX or Stocks on 1 monitor. Oh wait, never mind about the FX or Stocks then. Just email inbox and YouTube / Movies would do. There you go.
