The way we split them is still purely arbitrary though. We could have metric time that uses multiples of 10 just by adjusting the duration of a second accordingly and adjusting how we divide time in a day.
Days of the calendar would be more challenging. But it’s still possible to make something much more workable I’m sure of it.
Have a look at the international fixed calendar, used by kodak internally until 1989. 13 months of 28 days, it looks so clean
Everything months starts a Sunday (I’d rather start weeks on Monday but whatever), every second Monday is the 9th. Plus it has the advantage of keeping the 7 days week we’re used to. Software excluded, it looks easy to adopt.

Alternatively there was the French revolutionary calendar with 10 days weeks and 12 months
But what is the week for, if not to measure work and rest days? With that in mind, 8 days (5 work, 3 rest) would be ideal.
