Questions

How are weeks until a date counted?

Take the days to go, leaving today out and counting the day itself, then split them into weeks of seven. Whatever is left over is shown as days, so 79 days reads as 11 weeks and 2 days.

Do the weeks start on Monday?

The total is counted from today, whatever day it is. The week-by-week table on each page is laid out Monday to Sunday, like most calendars, so you can see what is left at the start of each week.

How many weeks are in a year?

52 weeks and 1 day, or 52 weeks and 2 days in a leap year. Calendars that number their weeks use ISO weeks, and a year has 52 or 53 of those (see week numbers by year).
