"Bursts: The Hidden Pattern Behind Everything We Do"

"Bursts: The Hidden Pattern Behind Everything We Do" explores how human activities often occur in rapid, intense periods called bursts, rather than being evenly spread out. For example, people might check their phones multiple times in quick succession, then stay inactive for hours. These patterns reveal underlying behaviors and motivations, shaping things like productivity, social interactions, and habits. The book shows how recognizing bursts can help us better understand ourselves, improve time management, and design systems that align with natural human rhythms. It highlights the importance of these hidden, rhythmic patterns in everyday life.
