How do you "see" time?

For me, time is a horizontal, linear band stretching out in front of me; as each month passes, it circles by, though I can always see the upcoming months waiting on the right side of the track.
In contrast, another family member visualizes the year moving vertically, while someone else doesn't see a timeline at all—dates simply pop up in their mind as they come and go.
We all know intellectually that people think differently, but experiencing that contrast firsthand left me in complete awe of how uniquely each of our brains maps out the world.
How do you see time?
If you aren't quite sure how your own brain maps out time, try this quick exercise: close your eyes and think about the upcoming months of the year. Where does October sit in relation to May? Is it further away in the distance, further down a list, or just a abstract concept?
Once you understand your natural layout, you can start to work with your brain instead of constantly fighting against it.
