Uh, I structure my days so that I’m not working on vacation lol
It makes me sad that this is a major concern for you on vacation. Especially to the extent that you are planning on working up to 6 hours a day. Being able to completely unplug every now and then is imperative to mental and physical well being.

Do a block in the morning, have associates, maintain, do a finishing block.
That sounds miserable my dude. Just take the vacation and don’t burn out.
I work a flex 9-5 but on my normal time zone. So I usually get the morning and early afternoon to do stuff and then work in the late afternoon and evening.
I’m in lit so it’s a different setup than yours, but once I schedule an international vacation (months in advance) I work to schedule everything around it before then. By the time the vacation rolls around there is usually very little on the calendar for me and than can all be done by someone else. I do check my emails every morning so I can make sure that anything new that comes in is responded to (sometimes it’s just easier for me to respond) or sent to someone else who can assist. I usually end up only billing 5-7 hours/week for this and don’t feel it gets in the way of my vacation at all.
this is the way! i prob bill more like 3-4 over the week but it basically feels still like a vacation lol.
