As the days grow shorter and the air takes on a crisp edge, autumn is fully upon us, bringing a familiar seasonal shift. This year, daylight savings time ends on Sunday, November 3, so be sure to set your clocks back an hour to “fall back” into standard time. This simple adjustment can impact everything from your daily routine to your home environment, so let's take a moment to prepare for the change, including updates to our operating hours. Enjoy That Extra Hour Who doesn’t appreciate an extra hour of sleep? Many of us look forward to this annual “gift,” which lets us ease into the morning a bit more rested. Remember, though, to reset any non-digital clocks in your home, like wall clocks, microwave timers, or even your car dashboard. While phones and computers typically update automatically, ensuring all clocks are set accurately will help you avoid any hiccups on Monday morning. Adjusting to New Hours and a Cozier Home The early sunsets mean adjusting our routines, including our operating hours, to better fit the season’s rhythm. With more time spent indoors, it’s the perfect moment to refresh your living space for those cozy winter evenings ahead. Think about adding warm lighting, fluffy throws, or even rearranging furniture to create an inviting, comfortable atmosphere. Seasonal Maintenance Reminders As we reset our clocks, it’s also a good reminder to tackle some important seasonal maintenance tasks. Check smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms to make sure they’re in top working order—replace batteries if needed. These small steps can make a big difference in ensuring your home remains safe and ready for the colder months. Don’t Forget Outdoor Spaces Finally, don’t overlook your outdoor areas. With fewer daylight hours, consider adding pathway or porch lighting to keep your space well-lit and secure. If you have a garden or plants that may be sensitive to the cold, now’s the time to cover them or bring them inside to protect them from the season’s chill. Wrapping Up the Transition With daylight savings time ending on November 3, take this opportunity not just to adjust your clocks but to make some simple, thoughtful changes around your home. From resetting timers to refreshing your living space, these small actions will help you embrace the season smoothly.
