Calculate your birthday on the new Calendar by finding which day of the year it was in the current system and transcribing to the new one.
I think timing the introduction of such a Calendar would be important, too. For example, perhaps it could be arranged so that the Calendar was in tune with the Solstices and Lunar Cycle. When would be a good time?
Though people might argue that attempting to change our calendar system is futile, what examination of this issue does clearly show is how we could have benefited from logically thought out, scientific standardization from the very beginning. We could be the beneficiaries now, and with calendars or similar issues, we could benefit in the future.
That was a real thing in Roman? times. If I remember correctly they considered those five days as nonexistent and had a huge party/orgy and did whatever they wanted since those days weren't part of life.

Thanks to the discussion on Eddit about this.
The Cotsworth Plan, proposed in 1902, is a Solar Calendar. Quarters would each be 13 weeks long. The one "spare" day would be New Year's Day.
I like to have the weekend at the end of the week, both days together on the calendar. The day that starts the week varies around the world.
The new Friday 13th would be Friday 13th on the 13th Month.
There is already an ISO standard for naming dates: ISO-8601, which uses our existing system.
