I was using a safety pilot and view limiting device to log instrument approaches to regain IFR currency. I was on climbout/missed approach from a low approach to a practice ILS X at ZZZ. I was told to by the Tower to 'proceed on course' after having previously told the Approach Controller I was headed next to ZZZ1 for the next approach. I was switched to ZZZ Approach at about 1;800 feet MSL on climbout and reported 1;900 feet for 3;000 feet direct ZZZ1. I was told 'Radar contact' and nothing else specifically.On climbout I was trying to set up my Garmin 430W for the next approach; and get a new program on the iPad (Foreflight vs. Garmim pilot I had previously used) to post the selected approach for ZZZ1 on the map. I had trouble with my glasses fogging up due to wearing a COVID mask in the plane and was experiencing updrafts/turbulence. The time to 3;000 feet was shorter than expected and due to the above distractions; I did not notice I was passing through 3;000 feet until I hit 3;250 feet at which point I reduced power and pushed the nose down. I was back to 3;000 feet within 15 seconds. I heard nothing from ATC regarding this; probably due to being VFR and no altitude restriction issued by ATC. I was able to verify all audio and events/altitudes due to a GoPro running to capture the flight.While I was VFR and there was no traffic nearby; if this was IFR; I would have had the same challenges and it would most likely been an altitude bust. There needs to be the same discipline applied to 'practice' instrument work as there is during the real thing in IMC; or the bad habits and distractions you allow during practice will seep into operations in general. I should have left the gizmo programming for level flight and popped the glasses off if the mask induced fogging was a distraction. I should have made the instrument scan primary rather than assuming I had more time than I actually had to program while getting to 3;000 feet.
GA pilot with a safety pilot reported an altitude deviation during climbout.  The pilot cited distraction from goggles fogging up and turbulence was a contributing factor.
