I saw that the OP already replied, but wanted to share how I approach this myself. I have a desktop, laptop, and phone that I wanted to keep synced up, so I actually used it as an excuse to setup my own git repo on my NAS (which I wanted to do anyway).
The only tricky part has been dealing with git on iOS. I have to use a particular app (Working Copy) and some shortcuts to get the syncing behavior consistent. But it is doable!
I love this question-- my "normal" view is a circle with December on the right (3 o'clock), and the year going counter-clockwise. I have some vague memory of a calendar laid out in this way, and it's colored my mental image ever since.
Another cool thing I've noticed is that my visual perspective of the year shifts with the year. During the first quarter, I view the circle from outside the Q1 portion of the ring with the distinct understanding that I'm viewing it "upside down". And as the months go by, so does my position in the circle and my perspective on the rest of the year.
To add on to this, when I think about a situation where you're trying to hedge against all government-backed fiat collapsing; I feel like you're already down to cold-hard bartering. The saying of "booze, bullets, and bandages" comes to mind.
I was really surprised at how much more comfortable my wooden wrist rest is. As another user pointed out, getting the elevation all I needed. Definitely one of my favorite upgrades to my setup (and definitely easier to keep clean).
