Discussion on: To Code, or Not to Code on Vacation: That is My Question

This thread and discussion section has been helpful for me. I'm also having a 2 week vacation from coding. Back to work starts tomorrow.

My mindset was like, try to avoid from code as possible in these 2 weeks. It's very confusing, really; I want to solve / accomplish my tasks at work but at the same time I want to avoid it for the time being.

This makes me kinda regretting it, because right off the bat, you can say that I'm not willing to accomplish my tasks.

as @buphmin mentioned, "One other point is try not to regret it, I feel it is not productive."

@ben also said "Does it seem more out of work pressure, stress, and anxiety of not coding? Then work on finding time away from the screen."

My pessimistic side tells me that I'm just fooling myself that what I'm doing (avoiding to code for the meantime) is right. But whatever. I know that I'll do my tasks anyway after this vacation.

I'll try to gain these mindsets bit by bit.
