Having grown up with ADHD, I’ve found it better to keep a possible distraction on hand otherwise I would find myself distracted looking for something to distract me.
Mildred’s philosophy reminds me of when 1970s SF author Larry Niven was trying a new way to write, and set himself a task to write 5000 words or something a day – they didn’t have to be coherent, just words. After typing a few shopping lists and his name repeatedly and so forth he was so bored he wrote a story instead.
He said it wasn’t his best, but it wasn’t his worst either.
