I use the "LaTeX mode defined in ‘tex-mode.el’" and there is
an important difference compared to yours, which is in line
with our respective styles, ha.

Anyway with LaTeX have a Makefile and just hammer it ... to
avoid getting institutionalized, don't ONLY do that, do
something else, light work (shell programming, even reading)
on the side, literally, and if/when you forget about LaTeX, do
force yourself to be reminded :)

I've seen calm guys punch into fences and stuff because that
constant recompilation can become a form of
self-torture, almost, soo frustrating. ha

Very creative TeX, some would say :)
