Instead of calling days "Monday", "Tuesday", and so on, call them "Firstday", "Secondday", "Thirdday" and so on up to "Tenthday". You might even want to call a week a "Tenday". You will need to decide how many days in a year. 360 is easy to use, as is 400, or even 100 days. A shorter year forces you to change a few things, but it is doable. I would recommend a sensible number of days in one year, 334 for example, is difficult and annoying. You could use 401, with 4 seasons and ten tendays in each season. Then have an "extra" day, the 401th one, and use it as midsummer or something.

Greyhawk's can be found in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer; FR's can be found in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. If you have access to either of those books, it would probably assist you in coming up with ideas for your own calendar.
