FWIW, there's one book -- "How To Do Everything and Be Happy" -- that gives this practice a name: "Boxing Day", arising from the author's experience of doing this on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas).
IIRC the author suggests having at least one a month, but on the other hand cautions against doing so many of them as to allow them to become routine.
He also offered three rules: 1) no pre-planning of what you'll do on the day, but 2) always schedule the day in advance, and 3) once scheduled, the day can be moved but not canceled entirely. (Otherwise, normal life pressures will gradually extinguish the practice.)
(I have not actually tried any of this myself as yet, however.)
