However my favourite technique is spending a few weeks or months intensively on one
language, fixing a lot of issues and moving it up a notch. If you look at it this way,
then I actually spend a lot of time a week just fixing one language and not doing
anything with the others - so they do suffer.

To put this into the OP's schedule terms, you could pick one language for 2-6 months periods where you study it
for 90 minutes every day, and you distribute the remaining 30 minutes among the other three languages, either 10
minutes each or 30 minutes every third day. Then you have the large blocks that support flow and rapid progress,
but you never lose touch with any language enough for it to decay.

That sounds more or less like a reasonable way to do it, if you were apt to programming
everything in advance like a true Dutchman :) But for me that kind of stuff is
impossible.
