Bimodal protocol: what it is and what it means

The bimodal protocol is an approach to deep work that alternates distinct periods: intensive phases of total concentration (weeks or months) and normal operational phases. The switching is planned and not random. It suits companies with marked seasonality or business owners with annual product cycles, provided the team can operate with relative autonomy during the operational phases.

Distinctive: alternates distinct periods
Distinctive: switching is planned
Essential: intensive phases of total concentration
Essential: normal operational phases
Constant: not random
