Staying Up Late Tonight to Avoid Becoming a Morning Person

Digital Citizen Leave a comment

In a few hours, it’ll be the Sunday morning where we change the clock back an hour where I live for Daylight Savings Time. It’s a stupid thing to be doing as all the science shows, but I don’t have a say to it so I just have to adapt to it best I can.

Since turning the clocks back an hour means I’ll be getting up earlier than usual, I’ll deter that by staying up an hour later than usual. I might even stay up an hour and a half or two just to be sure I sleep in tomorrow to get up at my “regular” time rather than become a morning person. I’m a night owl who is at my most creative at night and I’m going to keep it that way… starting with this creative idea in the night. 🙂

I Prepared for Doomsdaylight Savings Time by Joining Pinterest

After about a half a year’s resistance, I finally joined Pinterest to cut down my clutter and increase my “mobility” to be able to have more “things” at my disposal from more places and to share with more people. This was my answer to what I call Doomsdaylight Savings Time, when we turned back our clocks and get out of work almost in the dark. I don’t do much in the morning aside from getting up and going to work indoors, so my effective daylight exposure is after work. But Doomsdaylight Savings Time removes much of that, including runs in daylight, so I brainstormed for myself something to get excited over to counteract that, and that was Pinterest. Hey, if I’m going to be spending time indoors in the dark, might as well get excited over it!

A Few Groceries Savings Tips

Digital Citizen 2 Comments

There are lots of ways to save at the groceries stores. However, I have two ways that I stick by quite well which seems to surprise a lot of people for whatever reasons when I tell them. I don’t think they’re anything revolutionary, but maybe people just don’t think the way I do on the matter. It may not work well for some people for various reasons, like cash flow or demanding eaters, impromptu parties, or whatever. However, you don’t have to swear by it. Just apply it regularly, to save money. The more you do it, the more you save.

How Many Clocks Do You Have to Change for Daylight Savings Time Changes?

Digital Citizen 2 Comments

Welcome back to daylight savings time (DST), or what should be regular time as far as I’m concerned. This is actually the artificial time change to “spring ahead” the 1 hour for the majority of the year. But if it’s for most of the year, it should be the standard, in my opinion. It’s only a matter of time before you get revolutions and change when the minority rules.

It never ceases me every time I have to change the “clocks” of many many “clocks” I have to change. That doesn’t even include the ones I don’t have to change, like the one on my computer which changes itself after I had set it up to do so!

This year, I am “down” to a “merciful” eleven clocks/watches! ELEVEN!!!
