Why not write with a pencil and paper, I can think of no more distracting thing than a computer.
Or better yet, a quill and parchment, to totally withdraw from the confines and entrapments of modern technology.

(While these books, of course, are written for use with dip pens, and frequently taken up by users of fountain pens today, the methods described do work with ballpoints, rollerballs, gel pens, pencils of not too hard a lead, nearly whatever you have lying about.)
Of course, retooling is almost certainly not worth it for you, unless you're dying for a break from computer screens (the only reason I ever write by hand anymore). But I'll leave the link in case anyone is curious, either for their own work or just to know what people used to do with a pen, and why writer's cramp was not as serious a problem before typewriters and computers as we might suppose it was, by how frequently we tend to induce cramp on ourselves.
Once I have an idea of the structure, I can decide which tool to use. Often markdown but equally often LibreOffice. Sometimes Inkscape.
Yes: I also use a fountain pen (I haven't used a goose feather for some decades now, but we did have dipping pens at primary school).
With the new Android text input recognition tool, I am seriously considering the purchase of a cheap tablet and stylus.
