Not full time, but documenting interfaces, speeding up tests, generating stubs and harnesses, profiling pain points - all these I find to be meditative tasks, and I do them when I'm not 100%.
I can do about 4-5 hours a day of "difficult" programming, but then I can easily do another 4-5 hours of this maintenance type work, and the cumulative effects of repeated maintenance time keeps everything running super smoothly.
