My way to get books done is to cram them into my head to the bursting point and then write them. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for anything else in my head.
It sounds like you need to make the argument for more staff, or figure out another way of writing books. Because I've done the 'jettison everything so work can expand' thing and it sucks (and can be detrimental to your work as well).

Yes, I need to figure out better strategies. It isn't all work's fault.
