Hello and welcome to the Unicorn's Bookshelf.
I have discovered that I'm not concentrating well on my writing. Either I'm having trouble just focusing in, or I end up with so many distractions from Discord, Telegram, and just catching up on my feeds in places like FA that I'm spending a lot of time NOT actually focused on the story development side of things. And then when I finally do start to focus in, other things crop up and my attention drifts ever further from my work. And then I MIGHT be able to get centered later in the day, but it becomes difficult.
You have that problem? I'm sure I'm not the only one.
My solution for the day? I'm going to start ignoring Discord and the like in the mornings. Unless it's a message concerning a commission, which I'll try to keep my eyes open for. Even then, it might wait just a little while into the day before I actually do something with it. Instead, I'm going to boot up the old PC and jump straight into writing as quickly as I can. Get at least a few paragraphs done before I let myself look at anything else. There needs to be some progress almost every day, I think while I build up my habits.
That's my current plan, anyway. I'll be starting it today, so if you happen to try to contact me and I don't respond yet...it's because I'm trying to create beautiful things. I promise I'll get back to you in a bit.
Let me know what you do when you're dealing with these things? Do you have any suggested strategies to help build the focused creative time?

Well, hello there. Different social media can be distracting. Yet you still need some interactions with others. But it's nice idea of being "hidden" in some "remote" place where other can't bother you. Guess, any time you got inspiration - try to write as many as you can. And if there's no inspiration in the air and mood is somewhat "normal" it's better to dive into social side of the life.
