The Bimodal deep work practitioner divides his time into deep work | all other work. During deep time he will operate like a Monastic practitioner, but during the unfocused time, he operates like a normal person (ie you don’t have to delete your email account).
The scale of this division is workable above the single day limit, in order to be considered Bimodal. That is, you may use something like
- Two semesters of unfocused time, full summer of monastic
- Every other week monastic, every other week normal
- Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday monastic, Monday and Friday normal
- Not Allowed: Mornings monastic, all other time of day normal
The latter option is possible for Deep Work, but it is considered the Rhythmic philosophy, not Bimodal.
