If you are letting Claude run for seven minutes at a time, you aren't thinking hard enough about what you're building.

If you start trying to juggle multiple agents, you are doubling down on the wrong strategy.

I've gone through a bunch of different processes learning how to use Claude.

Giving it large tasks that take 40 minutes basically always fails for me. Giving it small tasks that take 30s to a minute feels like it is my typist and not a worker. I find that I am happiest and most effective at the 5 to 7 minute cycle timeframe.

Why should Claude finish complex tasks in less than seven minutes?
