That distraction goes away with experience. Once you "get" how to structure ownership in the program in a borrow-checker friendly way, it stops being a problem.
Similarly, if you are used to dynamically typed languages, you may find static typing a distraction that tests your patience. But OTOH if you think in types and use design patterns for them, they become a tool to improve code reliability, not an obstacle.
