As we reach the end of the first month of 2020, which is also a leap year, it is time to revisit the proposed standard calendar that has 13 months of 28 days each, and every date falls on the same day irrespective of the month or the year. Each month has exactly four weeks and every year continues to have 52 weeks divided in 13 months.
This International Fixed Calendar is a solar calendar proposal, designed by Moses B. Cotsworth. It was presented way back in 1902. Though it was never officially adopted in any country, entrepreneur George Eastman adopted it for use in his Eastman Kodak Company, where it was used from 1928 to 1989.
Such a calendar comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, but who knows, it might just be something that gets adopted in the future.
