I've always had a hard time visualizing the relative order and distance between months using a standard columnar calendar.

So I made this circular calendar. It's similar to other circular calendars, however I tried to fashion it more like a clock (1-12) to help make the visual connection between the month name and the month number.

I’d never thought of that; it’s actually quite a handy way to visualize how much of the year has elapsed! I can easily imagine a daily heatmap visualization could be improved by using a polar arrangement, putting each day of the week in a concentric circle.

Thanks for sharing!

That would be super cool, you should do it.
