How to Protect Your Creative Practice From Distractions

There are what I call good distractions and bad distractions. A good distraction is something that ignites an idea, clarifies a question or opens up a pathway. This is a distraction quote unquote that helps you go deeper into what you are doing. It could be listening to a podcast that helps you understand an idea in a certain way. Could be looking at images of places or artists that are interesting to you. So there's a difference between following your inspiration and being pulled in so many different directions that you feel overwhelmed and you kind of shut down. That is where you kind of, you're overwhelmed by distractions.
