How do you visualize time?

Do you have a personal approach to the visualization of time? I have yet to come across someone's personal mental images of time. I'm talking about small-scale time, not Stephen Hawking cosmological time.

For more than 60 years, my fixed image has been a flat linear strip that displays the upcoming week. It goes backward and forward to infinity as needed but the upcoming week is always present, with next Monday looming first:
2-D visualization of time, one week at a time
 My perspective is always as depicted: from the left, looking down on the route. I navigate much of my life from this generic mental map.


Have YOU possessed a personal visualization of time in your head throughout your life? If so, please share a description and/or graphic in 'comments'.

Best regards, 
James
