How to make my desktop less destractive

I Simply use virtual desktops program, which give me many desktops, if you use linux, you may be familiar with this technique .. Instead of having one desktop full of programs' windows you can have many desktops each one have a set of programs, so you can switch context and environment easily

for example, browser with social networks and E-mail clients etc. on one desktop
and the other desktop contains other browsers to test my web application and my media player
