I guess i'm usually doing things like crafting and fishing while hunts are active, specifically saving the raids and more time-intensive stuff for when most/all of the hunts are dead.

I've been making my play schedule revolve around hunts for so long that I've started seeing it as "normal" when it really isn't.

So yeah, the Astrope is definitely more relaxed of a grind in that you can do it on your own time. If I ever did try to get it, I'd set a daily milestone like 10 roulettes per day to retain my sanity, though.
