Two monitors do not automatically make you faster. A badly arranged setup is slower than one clean screen, because every glance costs a neck turn and every mouse move has to cross a seam that does not match reality.
Most people plug in a second display, accept whatever macOS guessed, and live with it for years.
Spend fifteen minutes once. Then stop thinking about it.
