Not for me. I've authored a few books, and have another one underway. Once I get going on my writing I can easily do a few hours without a break. Anecdotally, I seem to enjoy the process of writing much more than the average, so maybe that's the difference.
It's not my place to tell others how to manage their mental state to get stuff done. I have enough issues of my own to understand that we all face challenges. But distraction free is certainly not a universal requirement. I wrote most of my PhD dissertation in a the University library cafe, and I get a lot done on trains and planes. A bit of distraction actually works better for me.
