Al has the tips and resources to help you make daylight savings time a breeze!

Daylight savings time is fast approaching, and that means a few things! Some of us will be scrambling to change every clock the second the time springs ahead (I always need that as a reminder.) Some of us will slowly get our clocks set up over the next few days, and some of us will just have our clocks set because they never changed them during the fall in the first place!

Before we talk clocks, I want to highlight one feature of smart appliances I have been finding useful as I write this. When you connect the smart appliance to your phone, the time will update! Does that move the needle for any of you? I’m sure Sunday morning some of us might wish the clocks changed themselves! Like magic.

For the first two camps, those of us who are attentive enough to want to change our clocks have some headaches coming up for us! These microwaves, coffee makers, ranges, etc. can be a real pain!

Here’s a handy guide I found on Google:

Sorry, I couldn’t resist!

On a serious note, there are many clocks to change. Thankfully there are also many resources out there and some manufacturers even provide guides like GE, super helpful!

There are even some sites out there that provide exactly this help! Even if they’re showcasing UK appliances the methods can be pretty consistent.

My main advice for dealing with all these new times to set is to be patient, read the controls three times as it really is that simple sometimes and you just press the set time button. One tip I have is when I set my clocks, I have my phone with the seconds counting down so I can be as close to the correct time as possible. Is it overkill? Maybe, but what appliance expert would I be if the clocks on my appliances weren’t perfect!

Let me know how many clocks you’re going to/have already set! Also, what appliances and gadgets of yours automatically set the time while you were sleeping (for one less hour, how does nobody talk about this??)
