I tend to use a circle as a representation with June and July floating around the 6PM position. New years is 12 o clock, but it goes counter clockwise not clockwise. --- however, cards could work well for weeks. you give each a suit and a value. ---- also for weekdays I think of it like a queue of slots which run like an assembly line shunting one at a time. with the weekend acting like a bigger bucket with a flexible divider.

Thanks for sharing! I like the clock idea. It doesn't allow for a very granular visualization on the level of weeks or days, but it's at least feasible enough for me to carve out a more distinct area to visualize for a given month than I could if just trying to picture a linear calendar. I also like the idea of thinking about the weeks instead of the days. 365 is a huge amount to create unique associations for, but just memorizing the 52 weeks is much more feasible. Locating an event to within its given week would probably get me 90% of the way to whatever outcome a day-specific approach would achieve. Plus if needed, I think an additional strategy could be layered on top of the weeks approach. Eg. having a reusable "peg" mnemonic for the days of the week and adapting that to fit the association for a given week. Can you elaborate on the weekdays approach?
