I think it’s fairly likely I need to re-orient my entire workflow around constantly (but somewhat surprisingly) having heavy-tail distributions of time where I can’t do productive work on my main work. This is not a small deal. I suspect that many people will deal with it very differently.
Here are some possible responses:
Build a practice of having multiple parallel LLM projects you can work on simultaneously (I have not found this cognitively trivial)
Build up a backlog of simple low-context tasks you can do, and figure out how to turn your lower-importance work into that kind of task
Learn how to identify tasks that aren’t worth it because of the downlift, even though you know an AI could do it.
The first two really sound quite complex, and the third sounds genuinely hard. I suspect other people will find other solutions...
