I was doing two boxes a week, but things got pretty busy and boxes started building up in my basement. I thought about taking a break from ordering boxes so I could catch up. However, I didn't want to lose my source bank; so I decided to cut back to one box a week. Now that I've had some time off I've been able to catch up and ordered two boxes this week.
I don't see it as repetitious. Every box has its own personality, its own surprises. You never know when an IH, pre-1940 wheat, Canadian King etc will pop up. Back in 2009 I pulled a few dozen AU/BU 1964s and 1968s. A couple weeks ago they started showing up again. I have no clue how they get there. I don't see it as lost time either, I typically do it while watching T.V. If I felt as you did I would take a break or cut back but try to do it while preserving my relationships with my source banks. You never know when you might catch the bug again.
Good luck
