Like that quote you pointed out from Steve's article in another thread, anything that keeps you away from your ability to contribute is a distraction.

Learning Russian, brushing up on Spanish, learning to speak fluent English is all a distraction at this point. Fun yes, but a distraction. Something to do in your spare time if you feel like it, not a goal to set, at least not this year. Same thing with traveling to Estonia - a fun thing if it happens, but a distraction if you set it as a goal, at this point.

You also meshed in two different things. You meshed in habits you want, and end goals. Having a website is an end goal, go to bed early is a habit. I suggest you separate the two lists. Then ask yourself which habits that on that list are the absolute most important to help you contribute and achieve your end goals.
