This probably applies to learning as well: "Human communication is naturally "bursty," in that it involves periods of high activity followed by periods of little to none... Those silent periods are when team members often form and develop their ideas... Bursts, in turn, help to focus energy, develop ideas, and achieve closure on specific questions." I'm definitely that way, and what works really well for me is to spend a lot of time working on whatever, and then engagement in the form of consulting sessions or presentations to focus and consolidate what I've discovered. Stowe Boyd uses an article from HBS by Christoph Riedle and Alice Williams Woolley to frame the discussion, and reflects on this in practice in the form of DropBox's Virtuak First toolkit.
