… That’s why it’s so difficult to remember to do someting every 2nd or 3rd day.

Remembering to do something each day or every 7th day (e.g. every Friday) on the other hand is easy.

    I’d prefer base 12, but with given the current state of numeric affairs I’d much prefer metric time over using metric for everything except time (and screen diagonals)

    That way, with decimal time, large scale planning becomes much easier to grasp. This part of the project takes 3.475 days (=3 days, 4 hours and 75 minutes), 200€/h from the customer makes that part days × 2000 = 6950€…

    (and that way I’d just know my laptop’s screen size is 40cm instead of it being marketed as 15.6 Unicorn units while actually being closer to 15.75🦄)

      I’d prefer if it already was decimal time. As you said it would integrate with the rest of the metric system much more smoothly.

      But as a software developer the thought of changing it now gives me anxiety. Time is so much more immediately integrated into systems than distances or currencies.
