Don Knuth has the right idea; he batches all tasks. However, we don't all have the luxury of working at our own pace.



I believe Knuth worked at his own pace before he had the luxury to do so. That is: if you’re doing great work other things will matter much less. But it’s a gamble and Knuth’s version of “working as his own pace” probably means working harder than most people.
