There are basically two answers to this.
One option is to orchestrate more agents across different repositories or projects at the same time, so there’s essentially less downtime while you’re waiting between tasks. But I really dislike that kind of constant context switching - it makes me feel a bit like Lucille Ball in that 1950s episode where she's wrapping chocolates [1].
I prefer to focus on a single project at a time. When I do hand something off to an LLM, I have three go‑to activities that I alternate between. I'll try to do some physical exercise (jumping jacks, pull-ups and push-ups), grab my violin/piano since both are less than a meter from my desk, or I'll study Japanese.
