Mostly, it's not too big a grind so far, you can likely start on doing
bits of it whenever you have a few spare minutes in preparation and
not have it take up that much time:

Loremaster: unless you only did pvp/dungeons while levelling, you'll
be a good way towards this, see what's missing and do a few minutes
here and there to finish up.

Explore Draenor: Should have most of this done already (especially if
you do loremaster), do the rest bit by bit while waiting on BG queues
:-)

Treasures: It seems to only be 100 treasures (there's well over 200
total), install HandyNotes addon and the Draenor Treasures plugin for
it, then they'll appear on the map - skip the awkward ones and jumping
puzzles, you'll easily make 100 from the simple to reach ones. Also
gives good garrison resources if needed, worth doing on an alt that's
struggling for resources, assuming the progress is accountwide.

Securing Draenor: This is the awkward one, MMO-C stats suggest only
3.7% of players have done it so far... so, any time you can spare half
an hour or so, check what the Apexis daily is and see if you've done
it yet, since it takes time to get the last few to spawn. If you start
now, then by the time this gets released you should be most of the way
there, even if you only do 1-2 a week :-)

Tanaan reputations... well, I don't know how grindy they are yet,
we'll see! It's only revered; if it's like Frostwolves who get revered
through questing, then great, or like Steamwheedle where you just run
around killing rares/looting treasure, fine... if it's more like
Laughing Skull where it's a 5 rep per mob grind right from neutral,
then urgh. We'll see... hopefully the message that people don't enjoy
meaningless grinds quite so much as in vanilla got through and the new
factions will be more interesting...
