作家Scott Berkun说，假期的价值在于他们将活动仪式化，所以他在2006年自己安排了12个假期。

我最喜欢的几个：

• 1/29 - Letter writing day. Pick 5 people you have something you want to say to and write them letters. Could be a friend you haven t spoken to in too long, a family member you haven t seen in awhile, an author who wrote a book that moved you or to an organization that you re glad exists (The YMCA, the local pub, whatever matters to you). (Make up day 3/29).
• 11/4 - Day of hedonistic glory. All bounds are removed. Eat what you like. Sleep late. Watch movies, really bad movies all day. Laugh as you drive past the gym, with Big Mac, Big Gulp, and Toblorone in hand. All the things you ve wished you could do should be done: but today only.
• 11/18 - Day of ascetic fasting and restraint. Do as little as possible. Spend your time in quiet places. Drink only water or tea. If you must eat, do so with great restraint and simplicity. Stay in one place as much of the day as you can. Don t watch TV or use the computer and c***ume as few resources of any kind as possible. See how few things you can use or c***ume in one day.
• 12/9 - Low technology day. Pick a year from the past and only use technologies that existed in or before that year (1950 would mean B&W TV, but no cable, no internet, no cell phones).

我只是喜欢这个想法（尤其是托布勒龙部分）。如果你是一个DIY的个人度假者，你的日历上还有哪些节日？请在lifehacker.com的评论或提示中告知我们。
