Is it easy for you to recall that month “4” is April, “7” is July or do you have to stop and count every time you see a numbered date?

    It’s easy for me

    It’s easy

    Depends on the month, birthdays, holidays etc

    Honestly, sometimes. I sometimes forget March, April, June and July. I’m good at math and have lots of information memorized, but for some reason my brain won’t let it stick.

    I remembered the ones with close birthdays first. I only remembered the rest when my new job included writing the date over and over again everyday for 4 years

    Mostly easy, I have to think about 8, August, sometimes.

    April is easy, my sister was born in April. So I have 04/08 permanently marked in my mental calendar.

    July, fourth of July, 07/04. Easy.

    June is the least memorable month for me

    It’s easy for me. But I can think of a few people in my life who might disagree, if that’s you, don’t sweat it.

    Always forget April and May. The rest are automatic.

    Count every single time. I know october is 10. and I know february is 2. everything else is counting time.

    Some are automatic, others not

    The earlier in the year, the better. 9 takes a few seconds to become September, and 3 is March instantly.

    I recall most of them are easily, although occasionally when I see the month written in 9 I’ll have to check myself for August or September.

    4 is easy because 420
    9 is easy because 9/11
    1 and 12 are easy
    Similarly, 2 and 11 take half a second to think
    10 is easy (for me) cuz it’s my birthday

    The rest I have to think about for varying lengths, up to like 10 seconds for a mid-year month.

    I usually forget August and September, but the rest are easy

    This is the weirdest thing for me – I can easily remember everything between january and may, and between september and december, but june, july and august keep getting mixed up, and have since forever.

    The first 4 months are easy, sometimes I make mistakes with may, june and july, never with august, rarely but sometimes with september and october, never with november and december

    I have to count, every single time, except for my birthday month. Its one of the reasons I love military date format: 03MAY25

    Months are directly linked to the corresponding numbers.

    The fact that “west” is left on a compass is not.

    Easy and automatic except for 9 somehow

    It’s easy for me.

    It’s very easy for me. I used to have a sales job in a call center, I think that is the reason why. When entering a credit card expiration date, saying “four” or “April” for example are exactly the same to my brain.

    I know them.

    But, for some reason, I can never get straight the 31 vs 30 days on August and September.
