Alan-week three way

I'm a very ordinary guy but I think differently to most people, my way of thinking doesn't quite fit though. I always try to divide time up into 3 parts. I divide an hour into three 20 minute parts. 20 minutes then 40 minutes the remainder is the last third. I try to cook my dinner in 20 minutes, that is one third of an hour. Sometimes it takes 40 minutes, two thirds of an hour. 

 I divide a year into 3 so month 4: April is ⅓ of a year, month 8 August is ⅔ of a year, then September, October, November December is the last ⅓ of the year. 

⅓ : January, February, March, April
⅔ : May, June, July, August 
Last ⅓ : September, October, November, December

The first ⅓ of the year is about slowly warming up and getting brighter. 
The second ⅓ of the year is about being warm and bright with long days. 
The last ⅓ of the year is about dimming and cooling to a frost with darker days. 

The Alan-week is 10 days but it doesn't quite fit because some months have 31 days and February has 28 or 29 days on a leap year. April has 30 days so day 1 to 10 is the first ⅓ 
day 11 to 20 is the second ⅓
and day 21 to the last day is the last ⅓. 
10, 20,30 ish, Like that. 

Day 21 to the end varies by month. Some months the last ⅓ of the month is 10 days others it is 11 days and on February it is 8 days or 9 days on a leap year. 

My son was born in the second third of April, I call that the middle of spring.
