Daylight Savings Time Reminder

cobrageek says:
I've set up a task to remind me to change my clock for daylight savings time. This year the changes occur on November 7 and March 13 so I created my tasks like this

Fall Back ^7 Nov *after 52 weeks
Spring Forward ^13 Mar *after 52 weeks

Assuming I mark the task as complete on the due date, this should remind me to change my clocks at the correct time every year.

I guess that once in a while the interval is 53 weeks.

I'm doing this as well, including the exact time the clock should be changed.

For my country the deadline is March 27 at 2:00 and the repeat interval is "each year on the last Sunday in March" (instead of "after 52 weeks").

Unfortunately RTM cannot handle this. It always changes "2:00" to "1:00". I have reported this, but for now I'll just use "1:59" instead of "2:00"...

You can account for that last part also by making the task repeat "every 52 weeks" which will be based on the due date instead of the completion date. Hope that helps!
