Okay, so I wanted to figure out how many days were left until Christmas. You know, just to get a handle on how much time I had for shopping and all that good stuff. Here’s how I went about it, step-by-step:
My Little Experiment
First, I grabbed my phone – my trusty source for all things time-related. I opened up the calendar app, the one I usually use to keep track of appointments and birthdays.
Then, I scrolled through the months. I mean, I know where December is, but it’s always fun to kinda flip through, right? Like a little digital calendar journey.
I landed on December, and there it was, the 25th, all bright and shiny. Christmas Day!
Now, the app I use has this neat little feature. It shows you the current date at the top, big and bold. So I took a look at that. Let’s pretend today is, I don’t know, November 10th, just for this example.
I did some quick mental math. And no I did not use calculator app because, you know. If the number that can be figure out without using calculator, then I won’t use it. From November 10th to the end of November, that’s about 20 days. Then you’ve got the whole of December, which is another 25 days, up to Christmas.
So, I added those together. 20 days plus 25 days equals… 45 days!
That is the final days. And I got the final result.
Boom! 45 days to get my act together and finish my Christmas preparations. Not bad, not bad at all. I always like to have a visual countdown; it just makes things feel more manageable. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a shopping list to make…
