I am thinking along the same lines, but rather than “as little as possible” I’d like to think of it as pull rather than push.
In other words in weeks I’m feeling like it I can take on a lot of work, and other weeks I don’t. The nature of the work has to be not 100% urgent all the time.
It would require a culture I haven’t seen yet. A one that acknowledges that people might take longer on something because they are not robots and are tired or not fully there. If you employ someone for 5 years (or 5 people for 1 year) there will be spell like this.
