Do other people visualise the week like I do?

For as long as I can remember, I have visualised the week as a circle, effectively a clock but for a week instead of a day. It's split in half with Monday to Friday making up the right hand side of the circle, essentially 12 to 6 on the clock. Saturday and Sunday then make up the left hand side of the circle. 

Then wherever we are in the week, I visualise it as being a point on that circle, so I guess like a hand of a clock. Even down to time of day. So if I wake up at 6am on Thursday I'll automatically visualise the hand at the start of the thursday section, whereas when i finish work it will have moved to the end of the segment.

 

I don't have to think about this. It just happens. It's subconscious. If I'm going out on a Friday I'll visualise it as being around about 6oclock on the clockface. I don't have to deliberately visualise it, it's just totally instinctive.

I have no explanation for this. The only thing I can think of is I THINK I had a jigsaw as a kid that was circular and represented the week in this way. I have never been able to find evidence of this, but it's a very vague memory. And I think it just stuck forever

 

Edit: I guess like this. This isn't the one, but it's similar

But the proportions are off in my head. Half the circle is taken up by Mon-Fri and the other half is Saturday and Sunday

Does anyone else do this?

I have a similar thing but it's with days - I always visualise them as different coloured sections that make a kind of rectangle.

The longest one is usually work of course. Then my free time before dinner is one colour, and after dinner up to early evening another etc etc.

Yeah that sounds very similar. I don't do colours but the segments in my week definitely divide up like that. 

It's basically like a clock for me but it takes a week for the hand to go all the way round. Even though there isn't a hand. It's just where we are in the week.

 

I might draw it

I don't have that, but when I was a kid, it used to be glaringly obvious to me what colour each day of the week was.

It's probably because I had a jigsaw or something too, but I remember Wednesday was blue and Friday was red, for example.

I don't get that now though...all days are grey.

I used to associate days of the week with certain colours. Saturday was red, Monday was orange (sorry, New Order). This association was pretty much solely due to what colours the radio times used on their tv listings.

One thing I’ve done for years is associate odd numbers as being feminine and even numbers being masculine. I’ve looked into this before and it seems other people do similar, but they disagree with me and have odd numbers as masculine, and even numbers as feminine.

That’s crazy thinking.

[Seat68]

Days that you think of as colours? This is as scary a revelation as the stand up wipers. Am I not normal in thinking of days purely as days.

Sort of. 

Not like the way you do, I'm not that crazy

I see it as more of a hill - the weekday hill. Monday and Tuesday is a slog as I'm going up the hill, Wednesday afternoon I hit the peak and obviously Thursday and Friday i'm going back down the other side and its feels easier/better.

Synesthesia (or synaesthesia), I think it was discussed on QI once. Some people have it more than others. I vaguely remember it being said that one composer who had it would order his orchestra to play things “more red” or whatever, under the belief that anyone would understand what he meant by that.

 

Edit - No you’re not alone, if I remember rightly, Sean Lock who was on the episode said he didn’t have a clue what they were on about and that to him Tuesday was a period of time that had to be endured before Wednesday began.

No, I don't get it, either. We've discussed weird sub-OCD traits before, like my hatred of shoes 'parked wrong' (R-L instead of L-R), my insistence of radio/tv volumes having to be even numbers, etc. But I've never had the synaesthesia thing.

Haha have I?

I actually struggle to imagine colours. I mean I know what colour something should be in my brain. But I can’t visualise it in colour. Does that make sense ?

[chrisp65]

I see colours when I listen to music.

It can be a single colour, usually a bit of a lava lamp or more rarely something close to a kaleidescope.

The combo of music and colours is slightly hallucinogenic and can get me on a mild high really quite easily.
