Jan 1 is a entirely arbitrary demarcation that's not actually terribly useful to the way we actually experience time and the year. IMO a better place would be one of the solstices or equinoxes (I'm partial to the spring equinox).
Also breaking the year into quarters, from equinox to solstice would be a better match for to scale we live an think on. Also it's just the right amount of time for a good portion of a large one-man project.
- willholloway 13y agoI agree with you cosmically, but January first has real meaning for me because its the start of a new tax year. Feel free to create your own fork: https://github.com/willholloway/makertime https://github.com/willholloway/makertime
- leocassarani 13y agoOn the other hand, 6th April is the first day of the tax year in the UK, so that would work out quite well.
- mprovost 13y agoIt's only the spring equinox on your half of the planet! You'd have to call it the March equinox which is arbitrary again. Or maybe the Northward equinox.
