There’s something almost poetic about it, isn’t there? We call it “springing forward,” but it really feels like tripping backward into exhaustion. That first Monday after the time change is brutal—everyone is grumpy, coffee consumption spikes, and meetings seem to last an eternity.
But here’s the upside: longer evenings. You’ll actually get to go for a walk after work in the daylight. The sun will still be laughing at you at 7 PM, which is a nice change from it setting at 4:30 PM in winter.
So tonight, while you’re groaning about losing that hour, remember: you’re trading it for three months of sunset Instagram stories and the ability to grill outside without a flashlight.
What if you forget?
Don’t panic. Seriously. The world won’t end if your oven clock says 10:00 AM but your phone says 11:00 AM. You’ll just be fashionably late to everything—or awkwardly early, depending on which device you trust.
