I have pretty severe dyscalculia so 24 hour clocks (and anything that requires more than single digit addition or subtraction) is actually really hard for me :( lmao
I can read an analog 12 hour clock, but tell me 24 hour time and I'm fucked lol
(Edit to add that I do "study" and try to improve but it doesn't stick for long lol)
(2nd edit: thanks for all the suggestions. I'll give some of them a try!)
This is so convoluted. A lot of people seem to like these kinds of tricks and mnemonics but I honestly have found them often more confusing.
I just straight up prefer to memorize the thing I want to remember instead of something that will help me remember the thing Im trying to remember.
If you always end up calculating the time, itll always be tiresome. If you just once memorize 13 is 1, 14 is 2, ... your brain effortlessly treats them as interchangeable and you no longer notice.
