Daylight Saving Time means waking up an hour earlier, which allows us to start and finish our daily work routines sooner. The bonus? An extra hour of daylight at the end of the workday to enjoy more outdoor activities or simply unwind in the sunshine. ?? However, this transition also brings a shift in our morning routines, with one less hour of daylight at the start of each day. This can mean adjusting to waking up, commuting, or even starting work in the dark. It's important to be mindful of this change and find ways to ease into the new schedule smoothly. Let's embrace this time adjustment as an opportunity to adapt and make the most of the extra daylight. Stay safe and enjoy the brighter evenings! ??
