Interesting. Mine goes clockwise, with the line between December and January at 6 o'clock. Agree I doubt it is really as rare as the article makes it seem.

- etjossem 10y agoWhen I was growing up, my parents drew up a circular calendar with the months of the year (so my sister and I could learn them) and put it on the fridge with magnets. December and January were at 6 o'clock, like you mentioned. I recently bought a watch with a circular month dial, then realized January and December were at noon. It always throws me off; I can't unsee the way I visualize the year.
- eddyl 10y agoMine is the same as yours: a circle with months going clockwise, Jan/Dec at 6 o'clock. It occurred to me a couple years ago that thinking of the calendar like this might not be something everyone does. I asked my friend how he thought of it and he said he saw it as a LINE.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoI see the months in a year as a sort of sine wave, with december at the bottoms and july at the tops. I guess it's like a combination of the linear and circular view.
- filoeleven 10y agoSame here! But when thinking about weekdays, it's just a circle with Sunday at the bottom. Days themselves fill up vertically...I never realized how much of a hodge-podge collection of visualizations I've been using.
- tangent128 10y agoMine works the same way, though the months don't always "fit together" right; my visualized locations for July-November tend to overlap each other, while the 10-o'clock segment of the dial is a void between May and June.
