For decades I’ve been working off the accumulated rotation from one long afternoon on a merry-go-round when I was eight.

    Ultimatelly it depends on the distribution of the Human population all over the World.

    It’s fine to not to offset your rotations at the end of the day if there are people on the other side of the World in average rotating about the same as you do and who thus offset you rotations with their own.

    Also if some people around you tend to accumulate clockwise rotations and others counter-clockwise ones, it’s all fine as you’re offsetting each other and ditto if your personal accumulation of rotation for each day has an equal chance to being clockwise as it has of being counter-clockwise since you’re offsetting yourself over time (granted, if not in the equator you’ve made days a little longer or a little shorter in between, but all in all it’s fine).
