Don't subdivide the 73-day seasons.

Instead, subdivide the year into 73 5-day weeks.

A year made up of 5 seasons and 73 weeks.

Like I said, we need smaller subdivisions than 73 for practical purposes.

just having 5 season per year and nothing else simply isn't practical. Imagine having to wait 70 days to the weekend ๐Ÿ’€. We need to have a week analog, and no matter what it's not going to fit cleanly in the seasons.

Actually, splitting the season into 10 day weeks with a 3 day weekend, and then ending each season with a 3 day holiday could work, not opposed to that lol

But I don't like 73, it's not power of 10 or 12 so it doesn't fit a decimal it duodecimal metric calendar. The universe sucks for not confirming to the way we order to count.
I want to have like... A day, a decaday (week), hectoday (season), kiloday (year), megaday (millenium).
And in the other direction, a day, a deciday (hour), centiday (minute), milliday(second) etc.
So my plan is to change the orbit and rotation of earth to force reality to match our preferences
