When you write a scene, do you know what time of day it is? The time of year? What month it is?

When I was writing short stories, I didn't need a time line, because everything happened at that moment.
When writing a longer book, you need to be aware of which day it is, the time of year, time of day and the how many days, months or weeks your story spands.
Timeline. One day, two weeks, a month or over a period of years.
This is the perfect time to get a calendar. Banks give them away free this time of year and stores are selling calendars for 2020, buy one you like. Then you can place your scenes in which day they will happen.
When I am writing my rough draft, at the beginning of each scene, I write what day it is, the time, morning, afternoon and the weather.
The next scene could be later that day so I need to keep track of the time, so it will make sense to the reader.
Something to think about.
