Anyway, I think that just keeping yourself committed to "do something" every day it's not really a vacation. Sorry, but I find this nonsensical and bad example...
One thing I've learned from having been married to my wife is that people have hugely disparate views of what constitutes a vacation.
For her it's the more standard lounge-at-the-beach vacations. For me it's always been the feeling that I'm not compelled to do anything by anyone other than myself. I don't want time bound obligations.
I went to ireland for five weeks or so, and toured by bike, then did some hitchhiking and general wandering around. I did a lot of reading, and writing, and some learning/math. Every day I had some random downtime and would have been totally content fixing a small spelling mistake or two in some docs, if I had been into programming then.
All that to just say, relaxation and contentment are pretty specifically personal, and I could see how it wouldn't be a hassle at all, especially if you've got some good momentum going and all it takes to keep it is to spend a few minutes committing a grammar fix. Ymmv of course, but that's just my two cents.
