Ooooh very interesting idea.

I also have nothing to back it up, but it fits my mental models. When juggling multiple things as humans, it eats up your context window (working memory). After a long day, your coherence degrades and your context window needs flushing (sleeping) and you need to start a new session (new day, or post-nap afternoon).

you do lose context, but if you generate a plan beforehand and save it, then it makes it easier to gain that context when you come back. I've been able to get out things a lot more quickly this way, because instead of "working" that day, I'll just review the work that's been queued up and focus on it one at a time, so I'm still the bottle neck but it has allowed me to move more quickly at times

I am just running multiple agents to work on different projects. Once in a while I have a feature that splits nicely into multiple threads that can be developed concurrently, and I use several concurrent agents to do it. But that is rare.
