Daylight savings time the old fashioned way

Worried about Daylight Savings Time and concerned that your calendar might not behave properly? You should be - some software might not make the switch very well, leaving you with the possibility of having appointments show up on your calendar early or late!

There is a lot of freely available information from Microsoft about what to do (you can read my earlier posting) but if anyone is looking for low-tech method - I highly recommend printing your calendar from March 9th through the end of the month!

Having a paper backup is a great idea - you might even consider printing for a slightly longer time frame, just to be sure. The method of printing will vary a little, depending on what email tool you are using. Both the built in help tools and Google are your friend here - I searched for “how do I print my calendar” and one of the very first links comes from Indiana University, with great instructions for Outlook for the Mac and for the PC. And you can go right to the source if you are using Outlook as an email tool.

One final tip - for the next three weeks - consider double-checking your appointments - send a note or call the people with whom you are meeting - you’ll all feel more sure that way!
