Carrie Underwood's husband "stays out of her way" when she's working on her music.
The singer's spouse Mike Fisher preoccupies himself while she's going through "that whole creative process" and has been enjoying the time he has alone.
The sportsman said: "She's [Carrie] actually real busy doing a lot of writing and stuff.
"I've been just kind of hanging out, just kind of being home and enjoying that.
"I stay out of her way. I go golfing or go fishing or something."
Meanwhile, the country singer gets "jacked up on caffeine" to help her focus.
Carrie said: "He stays away. That whole creative process is such a weird thing, and I've talked to other people in the music business and friends and what they do and we all kind of have our own 'isms.'
"I go in and I'm like caffeinated. I get jacked up on caffeine and then I come home and crash."
The blonde beauty - who was catapulted to the spotlight after winning 'American Idol' in 2005 - is excited about sharing her fifth studio album with her fans and insists it's different to her previous records.
Carrie told Us Weekly magazine: "I've been writing quite a bit, it's exciting!
"It definitely has a different sound. There are some thematic things that are quite different. I love strong women. So I want things that I can get on stage and just feel empowered."

Simon Cowell has been urged to axe Louis Walsh from 'The X Factor'.
ITV bosses have asked the 54-year-old music mogul - who is set to make a comeback on the singing contest alongside Cheryl Cole this year - to get rid of the veteran judge, who has appeared on all 10 previous series, to ensure the panel is "strong" in the new series.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "What we've said is we want the panel to be as strong as it can be and if that means getting rid of people who have been on it before, so be it.
"The show is going through a creative renewal with Simon and Cheryl Cole back, so it's only right we make it as good as we can.
"It's not just Simon's show - it's ITV's, so we have a big say.
"It was ITV boss Peter Fincham that helped broker the deal for Cheryl to come back."
However, it seems Simon is keen to have Louis back.
A source added: "Lots of people have been spoken to about 'The X Factor' panel, but that's just to find the fourth judge, not replace Louis.
"Simon wants Louis back but he's conscious he has to play along with ITV's wishes. It's hard enough finding one new person, let alone two, so he's confident he'll get his way."

Oliver Proudlock likes to keep his romance separate from 'Made In Chelsea'.
The reality TV star excludes himself from the dramatic love dramas that co-stars Jamie Laing and Spencer Matthews get entangled in, and he's admitted it's because he's dating model Grace McGovern off-screen.
Despite claiming she could appear on the E4 show in the future, Proudlock is keen to keep their relationship private for now.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I don't have romantic storylines as I have a girlfriend off the show. Right now we're happy keeping our relationship away from the camera. But I wouldn't rule it out in the future."
The 27-year-old fashion designer - who previously admitted he'd like to make a spin-off show with his co-stars and close pals Jamie Laing and Francis Boulle - has his own label Serge DeNimes, which he'd like to showcase at London Fashion Week, but he's confessed he wouldn't ask any of his co-stars to feature in the catwalk show.
He said: "I'd love to show at London Fashion Week next year. But I wouldn't get any of the 'Made In Chelsea' cast members to model, though."

Emmerdale's Kerry Wyatt will fake a terminal illness in order to get her dream wedding.
The wayward mum, played by actress Laura Norton, is set to shock fans of the ITV soap by pretending to have a life-threatening disease in order to win a contest for an all expenses paid ceremony because she feels insecure about her boyfriend Dan Spencer's (Liam Fox) reluctance to propose.
Laura told The Sun newspaper: "When Kerry is teased by the factory girls about not getting married, she decides to prove that she can. She starts dropping hints and goes on eBay to buy a wedding dress. It costs her £12 and looks more like underwear. But the most outlandish thing she does is enter a contest to win a dream wedding.
"She writes this long essay about how she has a life-threatening illness, which she then performs to a video camera while wearing a wedding dress and veil. This mad desire for a wedding - as ridiculous as it is - is totally believable because Kerry is so insecure and can't understand why Dan won't propose to her."
Since joining the country-based show two years ago, Laura has noticed a marked difference in which viewers have responded to her alter-ego, and believes the full extent of Kerry's vulnerable side has yet to be seen.
She explained: "Kerry has many layers and we're still only scratching the surface. It'd be nice if we exposed why she makes all these terrible decisions. She is one of those people who will always be complicated."

'Hollyoaks' star Modupe Adeyeye was "excited" by her transgender storyline.
The soap newcomer - who plays Blessing Chamber - insists she wasn't nervous about playing a transgender character in the Channel 4 soap and relished in the opportunity to sink her teeth into a gritty plot.
She said: "I'm not transgender so I've had to do a lot of research into it. I wasn't nervous, I was more excited. It's a big responsibility, but I always think that you should challenge yourself and not run away from things that are hard. When things are easy, that's when I get scared, because as an actor you need challenges, that's what makes you stronger and better in your craft."
Blessing will be desperate to keep her transgender secret from the residents of Hollyoaks village, but this proves a hard task when a private investigator begins digging into her past.
The character, who had a troubled youth including a stint in juvenile detention, has started a new life in Chester after cutting ties with her family.
Modupe explained to SoapSquawk.co.uk: "She was born Tyson Delaney. Tyson's parents always knew something wasn't right because he always wanted to play with the girls and their dolls. His dad would always tell him to stop because he was a boy and should be playing with other boys. So he rebelled to spite them.
"That's when Tyson started hanging around in gangs and doing stupid things, he got into trouble and went to a juvenile detention centre. When he came out that's when he decided he didn't want to live that life any more, he knew he wasn't being himself. So he decided to start a new life."

Mariah Carey has named her new album 'Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse'.
The 44-year-old singer has announced the "personal" title for her 14th studio album, which will be released next month.
'The Elusive Chanteuse' is Mariah's latest nickname for herself, following previous monikers such as 'Mimi' and 'MC'.
The '#Beautiful' hitmaker says 'Me. I Am Mariah' is one of her most personal records to date as it chronicles the "peaks and valleys that have made who I am today".
The back cover of the album features a sweet drawing Mariah created when she was just three years old.
In a YouTube video announcing the title, the high-octave diva refers to the drawing as her "first and only self-portrait".
She explained: "It was a creative visualisation of how I saw myself, with the purity of a child's heart before it was ever broken."
The then three-year-old Mariah captioned the picture by scribbling, 'Me. I Am Mariah', which inspired the first half of her album title.
Mariah's latest album has suffered numerous setbacks after originally being set for release last year, following the success of her Miguel-assisted summer smash '#Beautiful'.
Two further singles, 'The Art of Letting Go' - which was also the album's original title - and 'You're Mine (Eternal)', were released but stalled in the charts.
The record will feature collaborations with Nas, Wale, Fabolous and even the singer's three-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan.

Pet Shop Boys are to open a string of boutique hotels.
The electronic pop duo are hoping to unveil a string of simple accommodations as part of their plan to expand on their own brand, X2, a record label they set up following their departure from EMI Records after 28 years.
Chris Lowe told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Once you have your own logo, you start thinking the sky's the limit. Perfumes? Underpants? We've already decided we're going into hotels. Ours will be a basic range, like the White Company, nothing fancy."
Neil Tennant revealed they were inspired to buy their own estates after watching a series of property shows on television.
He explained: "The TV was on all the time when we were recording our latest album. I quite like 'Escape to the Country' actually."
Meanwhile, the 'West End Girls' hitmakers are set to unveil orchestral arrangements of their most famous hits at the BBC Proms on July 23, in addition to a piece inspired by wartime codebreaker, Alan Turing.
In a statement, the duo said: "It is an honour for us to be invited to present some new music at the Proms and to celebrate Alan Turing 60 years after his death."
Paloma Faith is also on the bill for the two-month festival, which takes place at London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall from July 18.

Cara Delevingne wants to play a superhero.
The 21-year-old model has turned her hand to acting with a role in Sky Arts TV drama 'Timeless' and is hoping the part will allow her to pursue a Hollywood film career.
The face of Burberry says she is drawn to "strong" female characters and wants to portray an empowering heroine on screen.
She said: "Today I think there is a lot to be said for women parts, there's a lot more stronger female parts that cam be played, a lot more writing can be done of strong women.
"So maybe a strong female superhero, or just a female that is strong, who hasn't been broken down, or have someone die, or be raped or go through all of that to become strong. To be able to see that would be incredible."
Delevingne is grateful to her high-profile modelling career for making her a household name, but claims acting has always been her first love.
According to the Metro newspaper, she said: "Without [modelling] I wouldn't be here now but its not my love, acting is my love. Acting is something I've always wanted to do since I was four years old. The first time I went on stage, I just wanted to be an entertainer, a performer."
The star is no stranger to criticism and people pigeonholing her as a one-trick pony, but it makes her all the more determined to prove them wrong.
Delevingne added: "People do that and I'm totally fine with that because I am totally ready to prove I'm more than that."

Metallica are to headline Glastonbury festival.
The 'Enter Sandman' hitmakers are set to be announced as topping the bill at Worthy Farm, Somerset, South West England on the second night of the iconic music event this June, The Sun newspaper reports.
The group will join Arcade Fire and Kasabian in closing a night at the festival.
Although many have expressed surprise at the decision to have a heavy metal act headline the festival, revellers don't think it matters too much who is chosen to perform on the main stage as the event offers so much choice.
Festivalgoer Philip Dore of Cardiff, Wales, said: "I'm sure there'll be the usual whinging about how they're 'not a Glastonbury act', just like when Jay-Z headlined [in 2008].
"You know what? Never mind the haters. If people don't like Metallica, there's plenty of other acts on other stages. Who on earth is going to say, 'Oh no, I'm at Glasto on Saturday night, and I don't like Metallica! I wish I'd brought a book?' "
And Pete Fellows, of London, added: "I find it bizarre that people complain about the Pyramid headliners, there are dozens of other stages."
Organiser Michael Eavis recently teased the Saturday headliner will be "one of the biggest selling bands" in the world.
He said: "We are expecting to announce the full line-up at the beginning of May and everything is now in place. We are more than happy with the calibre of the acts and the headliner on Saturday will be one of the biggest-selling bands in the world at the moment."
Meanwhile, the dairy farmer also revealed extensive work has gone into improving the much-maligned toilet facilities at the festival.
He told the Bristol Post newspaper: "The toilets are really important for people and we work really hard to get them right. I have come up with a new design which we are calling the long drop mark three. We tried them out last year and they seemed to work well so we are increasing the number of them."
Glastonbury 2014 takes place between 27 and 29 June. Tickets for the event have already sold out.

Mark Shand's funeral will take place today (01.05.14).
The body of the 62-year-old conservationist - the brother of Britain's Duchess Camilla - will be laid to rest in a private family service at Holy Trinity Church in Stourpaine, Dorset, South West England following his shock death in New York last week.
Camilla will be joined by her husband Prince Charles at the service, which is taking place in the same church where her father Major Bruce Shand's funeral took place in 2006.
The duchess and her siblings often spent time together in the village, where her sister Annabel Elliot lives, and Mark previously said the country retreat had become the "centre" of the family.
The adventurer's body was escorted home by a private jet by Camilla's son Tom Parker Bowles and nephew Ben Elliot.
His death - from hitting his head after falling on a pavement outside a bar - has been ruled an accident by a medical examiner in the US.
Mark was known for his dedication to protecting the Asian elephant, and since his passing, conservation charity Elephant Family - which has received many offers of support since Mark's death - have launched the Mark Shand Memorial Fund, which will raise money for the cause.

Jeremy Paxman has quit 'Newsnight' - because he wants to go to bed earlier.
The 63-year-old presenter - who is paid a rumoured £800,000 a year - will step down from the nightly programme next month after 25 years as host.
He said: "After 25 years, I should rather like to go to bed at much the same time as most people.
"This was a decision I reached - and informed the BBC of - last July. I shall work out the remainder of my contract and will not seek another.
"It's been fun. I have had the pleasure of working with lots of clever, creative and amusing people. I think I've been lucky and wish the programme well."
The BBC said Paxman agreed to stay to help its new editor "following a difficult period" which saw the show widely criticised after it pulled a planned item linking Jimmy Savile with child abuse.
A spokesperson added: "The BBC is immensely grateful for this gesture, which is entirely in keeping with his outstanding contribution to both 'Newsnight' and, over four decades, the BBC itself."
BBC director-general Tony Hall praised the legendary interviewer as a "rare and dazzling talent".
He said: "His is a rare and dazzling talent. He has a unique ability to create moments of real discomfort for politicians and memorable delight for audiences.
"For that cussed brilliance and much more besides, the BBC and our audiences will always be in his debt."
Paxman will continue to present 'University Challenge'.
