I'm guessing... you take two post-it notes, and fence them on either side of the headers.

For april that means you wrap it around at the 3rd (Thursday) to the 4th (Friday...)

No need to guess, the very first header is 'How It Works'..

that's not a visual guide, and the thumbs along with above and below mentioned are confusing.

Your thumbs run vertically along the sides of the card, parallel to each other. You use them to cover anything to the sides of the month header(/footer) you're looking at. I think it's that "not under or above" description from the link that's confusing.

Find the header/footer for the right month. Use your thumbs to cover everything to the right or left.

Doesn't a thumb then obscure the label of the month you're identifying?

Not if you put them to the right and left of the month's label. That's the whole point. The thumbs cover everything to the right and left of the label.
