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.
In a work environment (at work), I often use Claude Code to fulfill work I would otherwise normally do with my steer and guidance. What I then do is go back to discussions, answering questions, reviewing others work, etc, until Claude has something for me to review.
This allows me to basically do "asynchronous" work and keep-up with the increasingly complex work environment where there are lots of things going on, sometimes too many things, all at once.

Working on multiple tasks/projects in parallel.
The crux is to know where your attention is needed and quickly get the full context of the task when you come back.
That’s why I built Codehydra https://github.com/stefanhoelzl/codehydra
There are basically two answers to this.

I mostly read books. Or I collect programming keywords to use AI better
