Many people live very "averaged out" lives.

One alternative pathway is to live on opposite edges of spectrums for periods of time.

For example, living like a hermit secluded from everyone and everything, then a period of time where there's a lot of social exposure.

This resembles more like bursts of rest and burst of activity, seen in creative professions (like making a movie).

Living on the edges is more unorthodox; thus, output will be more unusual.
