Proposals to improve our use of Date & Time

What has the most benefit for the least cost ?

Calendar

1. Keep the Gregorian leap day rule,
   with adjustments each millenia.
2. Move leap day to end of calendar year
3. Make divisions more regular
   • 12 months of 30/31 days
   • 6 segments of 61 days (- non leap day)
   • 4 quarters of 91 days (+ new year & leap day)
4. Align the start of year to the winter solstice

Clock = 12 x 12 x 10 minutes

• Divide day into 12 double hours
  + analogue clocks go round once per day
• Divide double hours into 12 x 10 minutes.
  + minutes retained
• use a base 12 numeral system
  + preferably with it’s own grapheme and phoneme,
  so that’s it’s not confused with decimal numbers in any language.
