Uh, hell no. There should be ten months a year, ten days in a month, and ten hours in a day, ten minutes in an hour… and we should all use artificial lighting with scheduled blackout blinds to make the daylight hours line up. Putting everyone in the world on the one true timezone.
Today is Jan 1, 2312 . Tomorrow is Jan 1, 2313. My birthday is Jan 1 every 365 years for 1,095 years starting on year 2493, then Jan 1 366 years later. After that, repeat the thing.
I like the spirit, but it needs tweaking. Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec need to go back to being 7, 8, 9, & 10, respectively. Also, make the leap day at the end of the final month to keep all the weeks starting on the same day of the week.
It seems the leap day should just be next to the New Year’s Day, not randomly in the middle of the year. Most people then get an extra long weekend (almost) every 4 years.
If we’re doing that, we should fix the month names. We start off really strong with January, named after Janus, Roman god of doorways, transitions and new beginnings. Banger name for a month honestly. Things remain pretty solid up until June, then we completely drop the ball in the second half of the year. Honoring two egotistical tyrants, then we just give up and number the rest of the months, and incorrectly at that.
This would outdate centuries of equipment and scientific publications in the metric system.
A better idea is the International Fixed Calendar:
I always get a semi when this calendar is mentioned, I love it so much! Maybe someday, this is what we’ll all be using.
Semi-what? Truck?
I think the gentleman refers to his flagpole being at half-mast.
Oh that’s sad. Who died?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Those would be long days… 87 (current) hours and 40 minutes.
I’ll draft a letter to the moon to advise them to reduce their number of annual cycles by 2.
Why not one year a day ?

So it would match what we all tell Steam is our birthday.

29 June would be another non-weekday, much like Year Day.
Which months would you (re)move to adjust Sep-Dec to 7-10? Personally, I would just rename all of them but no idea what they should be.
That works for me!
I would get rid of July and August because I don’t care for the Caesars. I guess we could expand the format and have a Quinquember and Sexamber.
Sounds like a fun idea to do with friends and keep it going as a running joke!
It doesn’t show on the calendar, but the description already said each month ends on a Sunday, so 29 June is a Sunday.

I agree: legacy devices that display the weekday will only need to be readjusted once in each year.

I would change month names entirely to prevent confusion with the old system. Viva la révolutión!
So I become a Sol baby? Everything I have would need to be changed.
The only winners here are the January babies.
