If I need another screen I'll use my iPad mini.
I tend to read on a Kindle.
I've got a Canon 550D for shots of installations/recording HD trailers/promos etc.
Communication
I'll usually communicate the human stuff; RPE, etc, via Facebook messages!
Productivity
I'll usually draft in full screen TextEdit before moving it to Word to edit, and Gdocs to share.
Browser
I swear by using the Chrome 'People' function to separate projects out so I can keep my tabs open when not working on a particular project and keep my social/off hours Internet use separate from work.
Coding & Development
I use TextEdit to do basically all my temporary notes, meeting agendas, thoughts, and clear-thinking.
Design
Media
Storage
Dropbox Pro is my go-to for file storing and sharing docs I'm not collaborating on.
Other
My training is set by a coach using TrainingPeaks - a piece of really versatile performance management software.
I'll track my sleep, weight/body composition, and general activity, plus cross training using Garmin Connect and my vívoactive HR, training performance data goes in via the Bluetooth sync of the 810, and I keep track of my nutrition using MyFitnessPal.
I use FitnessSyncer to link up a couple of accounts/data sources that TrainingPeaks doesn't have native support for, so my coach has a 24/7 picture of my training, sleep, weight etc.
