Let's face it; creative minds tend to wander.  One fascinating thing we've learned from our own experience, as well as that of many successful creators, is that the constraint of habits serves to create flow.  Many success stories are based on daily habits and routines that compound over time and lead to greater creative freedom and success.

One popular habit we've heard from many entrepreneurs and creators, like Tim Ferriss, is that they never start their day with email or social media.  Email and social media put you into reaction mode.  We've certainly noticed the difference in our own productivity when we start our day with creative writing vs responding to external demands.
