This morning at 2:00 am, our clocks “fell back” 1 hour, and now we are officially back to EASTERN STANDARD TIME.

I posted a gentle reminder to fellow interpreters and translators in the TransPremium Whatsapp group, and it sparked a debate about the pros and cons of Daylight Saving, which prompted the question: are you with it or against it? And more importantly, why?

Quite frankly, my approach may be unusual. I live by Maya Angelou’s quote: “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude”.

So as I myself, as an individual, am unable to do anything about it, I decide to make the most of it. Naturally, I woke up 1 hour earlier than usual today, and I used this hour to catch up on some errands.
