> We find that across all three domains, individuals tend to explore diverse styles or topics before their hot streak, but become notably more focused after the hot streak begins. Crucially, hot streaks appear to be associated with neither exploration nor exploitation behavior in isolation, but a particular sequence of exploration followed by exploitation, where the transition from exploration to exploitation closely traces the onset of a hot streak.

Many artists including myself struggle with never ending exploration and producing large body of work ending "in the drawer". While exploitation step is obvious when to initiate and how long to sustain it is less so.
