I've been currently improving a lot with my drawings and getting new and more ideas to draw and practice... issue is I'm stuck between work and family matters and whenever I have spare time I "waste" (I don't like to undermine a good time) it playing games, watching films or singing, I never feel like I have the time to draw (Yeah, you could argue I could use the time I use for playing games and listening to music, which is half an hour tops, in drawing, but I love to take my time drawing and it usuallly leaves me drained) I have the desire to draw, the ideas and the methods but I don't have the time to do it and when I have free time (far and short) I rather spend it in mindless things that at least makes me feel accomplished (singing, playing games)
Is this detrimental to the art process? I still draw praticing, doodle and such but I haven't drawn out my ideas neither on paper or digital, they're just lingering there on my mind and it's making me wonder, am I doing something wrong?

You are at point where you just enjoy creating art in which time just flies by and since you value it more, the other activities seem less important than before. As of right now, I'm not that kind of flow, but I have seen quite a few people being in exact situation you are here right now.
I think it's normal.

Thaniks! I didn't want to llok like I'm just slacking off, I got real life things to work on and I don't like leaving a drawing half done, I love to dedicate an entire day to getting details right, I just feel I need something that doesn't require that much mental strenght (playing video games, listening to music etc,) but I'm assured I'll come back with a drawing when I feel less "forced"
