You don't say where you are located, or why interviewing is a distraction. Without these bits of information, it's hard to give you specific advice.
I'd say that avoiding interviewing entirely is unrealistic. You will always be required to do an interview, even if you go through referrals.
I'd suggest reframing your CV to match the kind of job you want, and starting from there. You'd be surprised how the same experience can be written in vastly different ways.
From there, what helped me with interviewing is thinking of it as me trying to help the interviewer get to a good answer, rather than me trying to impress them. It suddenly became more natural and wasn't so challenging from then on.
