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.
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.

I'd support the 4 day work week first, then get rid of DST.

This could be edited to work better with Abrahamic religions. Just make NYD a day of the week and the day of the week that starts each month will roll back one day per year. You would only need to remember for that year.
This also makes all the silly people who argue over which day of the week should be the start of a week happy. They all get a turn.

Being useful to people is part of the scope of a global standard. It's hardly any additional complexity and arguably having a non-day of the week is an equal amount of complexity.

This will never be approved because there is a Friday the 13th every month

I always wanted to do 12 months each having 30 days and 5 days known as "PARTY ON DUDES!!!"

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.

They also had 9 day weeks.
