Another vote for 4 hours/song.
Spend the first hour or two just getting a basic mix up and running. Worry about the big picture - DO NOT get wrapped up in small details.
Print the basic mix, and go check it out in your car or on a system you're used to. Take a notepad and make a list of anything that sounds "off" or needs work. Go back to the mix, fix everything on your list, and you should pretty much be there. Take a 30 minute break, come back and listen though once or twice more. Take care of any other issues and you should be good to go at this point.
The important thing is not to get lost in the details - get the mix to the point where it could be considered finished before you drive yourself nuts with minutiae.
