SDA?

Lol. It seems to be the standard for a lot of calendars sold on the high street

I just like calendars that stay a consistent format instead of shifting based off the previous month like some smartphone calendars do.

Some make calendars more complex than they need to do.

But what do you prefer to be the start of the week? Monday or Sunday?

For me Saturday is mentally "The Seventh Day".

As far as visually it doesn't matter to me.

But to answer your question probably Sunday since that's how my week is structured, Sunday to Saturday.

This is why we need polls on all the clients. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I do.

Sunday is the start of your week?

Maybe it's because I often work weekends that I can't really see how this works

Your queue is right there on your comment. You work weekENDS, not weekstarts. Starting the week at the end is weird af.

I dont have a good reason. I just like it. It's how calendars were confogured since I learned how to read one in the 20th century. ๐Ÿคท

You wake up on Sunday and feel the week has started?

I let the calendar tell me how to feel.

Arrg so annoying! If I was in charge, I would mandate that all calendars start on Monday, and all dates are in DD/MM/YYYY format!

Sunday/YYYY.MM.DD or GTFO

YYYY/MM/DD better for integer sorting ๐Ÿ˜œ

Chinese do it that way

When you prefix it to a file name it automatically presents in date order

Dude, that's not a big deal. The REAL problem is that the hours in the day roll over one hour AFTER we switch between AM and PM. That's just messed up. How the hell does 12:30 PM come before 1:30 PM and 11:30 PM that's insane!

We donโ€™t do that crazy stuff in South Africa ๐Ÿ˜†

Is there no such thing as 12:30 in South Africa? Or maybe do you consider 1:00 to be noon or midnight? What do you do instead?

Oh sorry I was thinking about daylight savings!

Yes 12pm should be midnight!

I don't care if midnight is 0:00 or 1:00. All I ask is that the rollover occurs t midnight. The fact that midnight passes and it's STILL 12 o'clock is insane.

I just use blank pieces of paper and make lists of the things I want to do now.

My calendar is full of stuff I don't want to do

No.

Yes. Saturdey alone is the weekend. Sunday--the Lord's Day--is the first day of the week.

Wouldn't the day after the Sabbath be the first day of the week (Monday)?

The Sabbath day was the Seventh Day ("Saturday") from the beginning until the reurrection of Christ. From then onward, Christians gather for rest/worship "on the first day of the week," commemorating his resurrection (and the eternal rest he won for us).

There are some deep theological reasons for this...e.g., prior to Christ man was to pattern his day/week/life according to the One in whose image he was made--"for in six days, the Lord created...and on the seventh, he rested." The pattern was to be obedient work and then enjoy an earned rest.

But--we've all heard the story--Adam, the first man, failed. As did all who descended from him (by ordinary generation).

Christ, the "second man" and "last Adam" succeeded where the first Adam failed.

Christians _start_ with rest, and then work--not to earn heaven, but to express gratitude for heaven already won and promised, by Jesus.

**cough**

...so...uh, yeah, Sunday first, please. ๐Ÿ˜…

The start of the week is....?

a) Monday

b) Sunday

Monday. Case closed.

If only you made calendars

If I did, I'd help out the common man. My calender week would go as follows.

M T F F F S S.

How's that๐Ÿค”?

Why not

FFFFFSS?

Ok. You win๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฅณ.

Monday

I'll block & report anyone who says b

๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

๐Ÿ˜ญstarting the week with an off day is really wild ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

b

wednesday

Sunday. The weekends are on the ends of the week. Crazy concept, I know.

Ooh weekendS are like bookends.

I've never really seen or experienced the week like this. It's like people live different weeks in parallel.

Weekend (2 days)

Weekends (1 day each side)

Do it. Pull the trigger. No balls.

Me. My wife accidentally bought a calendar that starts on Monday and its a constant source of confusion (that neither if us is going to fix).

Yes ๐Ÿ‘. The week ends with the seventh day, Saturday, and starts with the first day, Sunday.

I've never understood this madness. ๐Ÿ˜„

Don't worry, the Bitcoin Wall Calendar will be available in both configurations ๐Ÿ˜‰
