Blog: Making the most of your Time
 Spring Forward
This coming Sunday (March 9th) we will turn our clocks forward 1 hour. I love this time of year. The days feel longer and I tend to stay outside longer. There is something so nice about it being lighter, later. So how do you use this to your advantage? I suggest taking advantage of the appearance of extra daylight to boost your schedule and system. Perhaps you can spend some quality family time after dinner at the park, take the dog for a walk or work on an outdoor project around the house. Whatever you do, make a choice to use the positive influence of light to effect how you spend your time. Spring your life, calendar, goals and time forward.
