Original time line has 365.2421897... days per year. That makes it too easy to skip leap years every now and then. So what if it was the opposite direction?

You would have another leap day every however many years (roughly ten?) required by the discrepancy. So like if we have one for 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032, 2036, etc, you could also add a leap day in 2030 or 2034, whenever it makes sense.
