You have me thinking. I tend to be a scattered thinker/worker and am all to easily distracted from projects or goals I set for myself. I am so very guilty of peeking at social media for "just a moment," to realize that I count too many half hour moments! I do allow my device to steal my time too readily. Sometimes I wonder whether I am not venturing into "should" land, do this, study that, because I should, vs. working with or toward something I really am genuinely interested in doing. You are inspiring some self-reflection and have been helpful by sharing your lessons. Thank you! And how wonderful that you have already developed good habits. Brava!
I have found ( back in grad school) that parallel writing can work well. Two people plus a pet, obviously is even better. The companionship is pleasant and the other human helps dissuade us from seeking distraction.

Cabin in the woods retreat would definitely appeal to me. That cabin in the picture, for sure
