As discussed on the discord recently, I keep a google calendar for Kantas to help me keep track of what day it is in the calendar of Harptos (the most widely used calendar in Faerûn). People seemed interested so I said I'd post a link here:
The unofficial Kantas calendar
I've also recently started using it to keep track of when I think the events of particular game sessions happen and where characters are on what days. (Names of game sessions are in capital letters.) My starting-point is always to assume that the events of a game happen on the day corresponding to the real-world day when the game itself happens, but sometimes other factors make that impossible, and then I come up with what I think is a plausible chronology, in consultation with other players as appropriate.
None of this is 'canon' in the sense of being definitively approved by DMs. But I try my best to make it consistent with canon, and I work on the assumption that it's correct unless / until contradicted by a DM. You're free to do the same if you like. The more people believe it, the more authoritative it is!
If there's interest, we could think about making this into a shared calendar that we can all edit, or something. I'm not sure how that would work logistically. But for now, I'm going to keep control of it myself. Having said that, if you have an opinion about when a particular thing happened / is happening / will happen, and you'd like me to include it in the calendar, please do message me on here or on discord and tell me your reason for thinking that the thing happens at the date / time you've proposed, and if I'm persuaded then I'll add it to the calendar.
