I like the universal calendar with 13 months, all with 28 days in four weeks. One extra day at the end of the year. Another extra day for leap year.

  How about no months, 52 weeks per year with a 53rd 5-day week on leap years which would also correct leap seconds and such. I have always organized myself weekly, so does everyone around me. I think it's much more natural than months, specially because you have week-ends which mark the end of each week, but not a month-end, you just drift from one month to the other, nothing happened (except bills and paychecks and whatnot, which can also be made weekly)

    Then why not extend the week to a ten day period? The decimal system seems to work better.

      Because then we would have to alter the moon's orbit :D Interestingly, contrary to the seasons, the moon's phases bears no effect on our lives since the artificial illumination of the cities. The seven-day week could be a ten day week; on the other hand I would be weary of ten-day week because of possible connections with my (and humans in general) metabolism and internal clock. Perhaps five days worked per two days rested is our optimal. There is no reason why ten would be the magical number, but seven seems to be working; further studies are necessary.
