I'd start with a 13 month/28 day calendar and planetary time (all clocks set to UTC).

EDIT: And set the date format to YYYY.MM.DD for the entire world. Americans and Europeans can stop arguing. The Japanese got it right.

this made me uncontrollably angry , its YYYY-MM-DD not YYYY.MM.DD

I'll do you one better: YYYY/MM/DD

YYYY-𝓜𝓜-DD

I like my months fancy.

As long as you don't switch them around with the days, it'll be fine

proceeds to write least significant digit to the left when using YYYY·MM·DD

And the extra day is a special interstitial holiday in the "14th" month, right? And leap days go into that holiday month as well.

That fourteenth month should be managed by Congress, every year they could vote on whether we'd have it or not.

No, "new years day" would just be a day all by it's self, global celebration day... And get this, every 4 years you get two party days.

Obviously this will never happen, the world would all have to agree on the change..., which isn't going to happen. Oh well it is nice in theory.
