Do you dread the time change?

I know I sometimes do! Especially in my life when I’ve had little kids.  Daylight savings time can disrupt any kind of smooth life you might have going on.

Recently I got busy and did some serious research on how to make the change go a little more smoothly for us. And I thought I might as well share!!

Because to be quite honest, whether you have small children or not, moving our clocks can THROW a person.

And WHY do we even have daylight savings time??

Why do we even participate?

Some say it started to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening in the summertime. To farm and get more work done in daylight hours.

Others say it was to conserve energy/coal.

Who really knows?

But we have it.  And until it changes (if it ever changes) we’ve got to learn to live with it.

And did you know…

That the transition to Daylight Savings Time has been linked to more fatal car accidents??

Mostly due to sleep deprivation, but wow!!

But from reading all about it, I’ve learned how you can not only live through the time change but THRIVE through the time change!

Caution: Don’t wait!

For the sake of all in your household, please don’t wait until the day before we set our clocks forward to implement these ideas!  We still have several days before DST hits that you can use to your benefit and begin making small changes.

I hope you find my 5 do’s and 5 don’ts for “Springing forward” to be helpful!

I know I will be doing (and NOT doing) every one of these tips!
