Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 decade = 10 years = 3652.5 days.
Informally: "decade" often implies a named block (2020s) not a rolling 10-year window.
Rare in science; use "years" for precision.

Avoid these

Starting decades at year 0 vs. year 1 — "2020s" starts Jan 2020, but technically the third millennium's first decade began in 2001.
Using "decade" for financial or scientific precision — use years.
Assuming exact 10 × 365 days — forgets leap years.
