Oh, congratulations on figuring out your process and being true to it.
I'm violently allergic to all these methods myself, so I don't very often comment about them, since they clearly do work for a lot of people. But I do what you do. Sometimes I get lazy -- unlike you, I am not an organized person and I'm not very energetic -- and then, if I've really been falling down on the job and there's no good reason for it (good reasons including very vague "This needs to simmer somehow" formulations and intuitions), I institute, "Four hours or four pages, whichever comes first." (I don't know if I'd do that if I had kids, mind you.) But that's the limit.
