As we gear up for Daylight Saving Time next Sunday:

Let's forget about it beginning and ending on a Sunday morning. There are plenty of people who work through the weekend so it isn't a period for adjustment for those workers. And, the "saving" purpose is to make more use of human work, don't you know?

Currently, DST is 238 days. Let us add 2 days to that to make it divisible by 4, 240÷4= 60 . Now let's divide that up into 3 separate periods of time, 60 days +120 days +60 days = 240.

1. The 1st 60 days, add 1 hour to the clock.
2. Next 120 days, add another hour, now we have 2 hours added on Standard Time for 4 Months!
3. Finally and beginning with the remaining 60 days, fall back 1 hour.
4. And, fall back at the conclusion of DST the additional hour, returning to Standard Time.

Do away with the term "overtime" and any controls on the number of hours of human labor for any day or week. Ten, 12, 16 hour workdays and 6 and 7 workdays each week would make greater use of human effort and better fit the historical and intended meaning of "saving" in Daylight Saving Time. What do you think ?

haha, but no, just no. i already hate changing the clock twice a year as it is. i'd rather go back to no time change at all. people who want to adjust their own personal time clocks can do so as they will.
