I’ve been in this situation before, and it always boggles me. There are people who, when talking about a date in the future, perhaps a months, know what day of the week a certain day will be.

For instance… “Hey would you like to come with me to the concert on February 3rd?” “The 3rd… yeah that’s a wednesday, I can go”—Even though February 3rd may have been 5 months down the road.

Do people memorize a few dates throughout the year and use them as points of reference or is there some trick to it?
