Daylight Savings - Don’t Forget to “Spring Forward” This Weekend Chicagoland

This weekend, the weekend of March 6-8, is when we are to set are clocks one hour forward.  We do this at 2am on Sunday morning, March 8, 2009.  Or, you can do as I do and just set them all ahead as I go to bed on Saturday night.  I don’t see 2am quite as much as I used to.

I can’t tell you how many times over the past 11 years of practicing real estate that adjusting the clock forward or backward has had an impact on my Sunday morning business.  The good news is I normally wind up an hour early rather than the latter in the fall.

I’ve also had clients forget and that 11am appointment on Sunday morning sneaks up on them as I ring the doorbell before the showing.  It all works out in the end.  For more information on daylight savings (translation: if you’re a dork like me and want to know the history of daylight savings) you can find it here.

Enjoy your weekends and as always let me know if there is anything I can help with.
