If you're like me, I have to keep looking at either my watch or the calendar to figure out what day it is......and I have to cross off the days on the calendar just to make sure.
I always have my laptop on my lap and quickly check it to see the date and time. Since I don't go to a job, most days are the same so no reason to fret about the date and time. When I have an appointment, then knowing clicks in again.
