  Simpler, my ass 🤣

    It’s only simple if you have a bunch of calendar rules memorized. Personally instead of for example memorizing the Thanksgiving rule I would find it much easier to just look for the square titled Thanksgiving in Nov.

  How do you write appointments on it?

    I think it would work well as an app/website calendar but it wouldn’t work as a paper calendar without extra sheets which would defeat the purpose of it.

    Also how do you count how many days away a deadline is? It’s a jumbled up mess.

  Most of us need to refer to a calendar quite frequently to know what calendar date (day, month, year) corresponds to which day of the week

  I do not do this frequently. It is maybe 2.5% of the reason I use a calendar. Am I an outlier?

  My use cases of a calendar:

  Daily: confirming activities for the day

  ~Bi-daily: setting an appointment with someone else.

  Weekly: confirming activities for the week, and slotting in other activities.

  Monthly: long range scheduling (includes the target use case, but needs other information to be worthwhile)

  Annually: Transfer persistent events to following year calendar and archival. (Target use case, but only for events that are not linked to a specific date. Also requires additional information).

    I’d say I primarily use a calendar for seeing which day of the week is which calendar date. I typically don’t have too much scheduled in the next ~two weeks at any time to keep in my head, in the form of day of the week now that I think about it. I usually use a calendar to check if there’s anything further out than that and convert it to e.g. ‘next thursday’ to remember.

    It sounds like you use a calendar much more than I do, I check mine once every couple weeks at most tbh. I might be the outlier here though, who knows.

  Is this a meme? I clicked on it and it took me to an article to seemed completely serious. Is this like the onion for white collar workers?

  Imagine having to write that many words about this.

    The article is a textbook example of how to overcomplicate things. How can someone describe such a simple thing in such a convoluted matter?

    • solstice@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That’s almost word for word what I just posted!

      I was sort of getting it until I noticed the months are all jumbled up too, they’re not in any coherent order or anything. What a mess. It’s so over engineered it actually makes me just a tad bit angry.

    Well, the site is called “big think” so it’s safe to assume they overthought all of this

    I know. The picture of the calendar is entirely self-explanatory yet they wrote a thousand words explaining it.

  The “simpler” version takes up more space, as evident on that page already.

  • xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    If you rescale it to the same font size, it doesn’t.

  February 31st is a Friday. It’s foolproof.

  Interesting, thanks

  Huge article, but no mention of where we can download high-res pics

  I’m not learning a new calendar untill US implements the metric system

  Even better, learn how to easily calculate the weekday yourself.

    That was ridiculously complicated. What I did is memorize the month columns in Dr. Siegel’s universal calendar. Now I can figure out any calendar day in my head.

  What is this mess?

  This is the equivalent of all those stupid new door handles that EVs have these days. Different and overly complicated just for the sake of being different.

  • btaf45@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Not complicated to me. I keep a version in my wallet that I’m going to use every time I have to sign and date a document.

  I like this. It saves resources. And I think we should all start adapting to it.
