Writing and distractions (Patreon)

When I write I like to have music on, it helps me get "in the zone". However, there are other things that can make me lose productivity... like the urge to check [insert any website] way more than I need to. Currently, I have set aside a time to write and try to minimize the time spent doing anything else and thus breaking my flow of writing. However, sometimes I still get interrupted by other things, and I might spend a while not writing and then realize I'm hungry or something. That's not a problem if I just started, but if I'm in the middle it slows me down by more than just the time I am away, because even though I *could* think about the writing while I'm doing something else, I generally just get stuck working on a particular sentence, or even something less than that. Brains are hard to make function like you want.

TLDR:

Music helps me concentrate on writing, interruptions and distractions take up more useful writing time than their actual length.
