Calendar Idea

This is the last time i'll type this, i swear

I've done some thinking today and have devised some sort of calendar for myself. It's interesting, why would anyone, especially me develop such an idea? I think that the typcial Gregorian calander is too vague and useless, it seems too general, whereas i think that time is rather personal. For instance, i don't celebrate many holidays, just a few, it's not something that i care to have special days set aside for. Sure it's trivial, but it's used more for personal archiving and recollection than mapping out what number day next Thursday is. I'll type out my general layout for what i call the "Life Calendar"


The basic principal behind the life calendar is that time moves at your pace, some things will always be a constant, but some things can be looked at through different "lenses" so you can say. For instance, month names are generally useless to me, i look at things more or less by season. I don't celebrate any religious holidays, and i don't necessarily abide by any sort of set schedule. Therefor i find it irrelevant to come up with cute little names for months, when there's a broader and easier system. Setting them up by seasons.


There are 4 quarters in a year, seasonally split by pairs of solstices and equinox. The way i've devised to lay out my calendar of life is as follows.

Typically i view Spring as the inaugural season i label it with a 1. Why would i think of it as the inaugural season? It's on an equinox firstly, which means the light would be split 12/12. March 2oth would then correspond as 1/1 on my calendar.

Going on in the same pattern, the season of 1 will always be followed by the number of days passed in the season itself, until it reaches "2" which would be the Summer season. The same pattern will apply as "3" will symbolize Autmn and "4" will close out the year with Winter's arrival.


for "2008" in the Gregorian calendar this is the sun's life cycle:

Spring - March 20
Summer - June 20
Autumn - September 22
Winter - December 21


For Year 23 that i am coming up on completing, this will be the breakdown

Quarter 1 will have 92 days
Quarter 2 will have 94 days
Quarter 3 will have 90 days
Quarter 4 will have 89 days

March 20th will signify 1/1/23
June 14th will signify 1/86/24


I was born on June 14th 1985 in the current calendar, it's the week before the summer solstice and the 86th day of this years first quarter. I've made it so that i will spend just over 3/4 of one birth year in a year's worth of seasons. I debated making my birthday the first day of the calendar, which would make more sense, and it may be revised into that later on, but as of now i haven't figured out the specifics of that all. I will revise and rework this, should take up some time.
