I'm similar. My memory is very dependent on spatial reasoning and I've sort of innately created strategies as I was growing up while my photographic memory was losing its strength.
For example, I remember linear information, like dates, by instinctually visualizing circles within circles. A circle for the years, circle for months, then days, etc. with specific times as sections of the circle. There's no particular reason for where things are on the circle though. For example, the month of May is at 12 o'clock or at the top of the circle while January is at 7 o'clock. For years, the current year is always at 12 o'clock. Same with the current day of the month, with weeks being sections of the day circle.
Hours and minutes, on the other hand, is like Penrose steps with each of the four sets of stairs being quarters of the day that I travel on as the day continues.
