Well, you use multiple separate screen instances, I think.
But for the use case where you have one screen containing all sessions
(with multiple xterms attached via "screen -x"), you'll get many
sessions. Something that's useful is to give them names that say
something about the purpose.
It seems to be natural for me to type C-o b frumple RET, say, to
switch to the screen session where I logged in on frumple. Or C-o b
root@frumple RET for the root session on frumple.
The problem with windowlist is that you can select a window by number,
or by moving up and down. But if you know the window title already,
you first have to look up its name.
The friend who uses C-o as the escape key in screen also has a script
which sets up the screen sessions he needs, in the order he needs.
Then he can select screen sessions by number, for he knows which
number does root@localhost have, and so on.
But that's not my usage pattern. I create sessions on demand, and
then the number is not predictable.
