Many of these categories I realize have in inherent handicap for women. Avoiding distractions suits a "mans world" much easier than a woman's. But no excuses. Just do the work.
Many of the peculiarieies attributed to creative persons are really just ways to protect the focus of concentration so that they may lose themselves in the creative process. Distractions interrupt flow, and it may take hours to recover the peace of mind one needs to get on with the work. The more ambitious the task, the longer it takes to lose oneself in it, and the easier it is to get distracted...
Many of our respondents were thankful to their spouses for providing a buffer from exactly these kinds of distractions. This was especially true of men; the women sometimes mentioned pointedly that they also would have liked to have had a wife to spare them from worries that interfered with their concentration on work.
