This weekend we’re bracing ourselves for the Time Change. Watch an hour of your life magically vanish at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 9 as you set your clocks ahead one hour. Blink your eyes and suddenly it will be 3 a.m. Or maybe you don’t stay up that late to watch that hour disappear. You might reset your clock before you go to bed or when you get up Sunday morning.

Whenever you do it, it’s inevitable that this weekend is going to throw life up in the air for awhile. Be flexible with planning and scheduling for a bit while your body and brain make the adjustment once more.

Do you reset your watch or do you wait for the Fall Time Change to make it right again? Fortunately, most modern electronic devices like smartphones and laptops, will automatically adjust themselves if the “set automatically” option is enabled. But be prepared to be on your own to change the time on some clocks and microwaves.

Has anybody ever been happy with the Time Change? I know of no one.  Even so, we’re stuck with it so we might as well make the best of the situation. But remember this. Once we’ve hit the Spring Forward wall and shaken our heads for a bit, what’s on the other side will be more light and warmer temperatures.  And that means that spring and summer are on their way.
