Clock Changes - how to remember


Problem
How to remember when to change the clocks?

Answers
1 Buy one radio controlled clock and fix it on the wall facing you above the breakfast table in your kitchen.
2 Set an alarm for the spring and autumn changes.
3 Place a note on your cork pinboard above your desk showing the next time change. For example, On Sunday March 26th 2017 London, UK is seven hours behind Singapore. New York is further behind. Check your city's calendar. When I am in New York or East coast USA I put a sign above my hone showing times to phone the UK.

Stories
When we lived in Rockville, Maryland, and had family in London, England, we used to have a window of hours when we could phone the UK. To make it easy to keep in contact, we phoned the same time every weekend.

Tips
1 Mark your paper diaries and calendars.
2 Make notes in your online calendars on phones and laptops and office computers.
3 Make these reminders for the next change - in the autumn (Fall) for the next spring, in the spring for the next autumn (Fall).
4 Make your diaries on January 1st for the year ahead.

Americans say: Spring forward, fall back.
