On Sunday, I woke up with the unshakable feeling that I'd overslept by a solid hour.

The world, although usually still dark when I wake up, felt strange.

Had I dreamt my way into The Twilight Zone?

Then it hit me: Daylight Saving Time, that annual thief of 60 precious minutes, had sprung its sneaky time-change trap overnight.

Do you ever feel like time just slips through your fingers like sand?

One minute you're making a cup of coffee, the next you're staring down the barrel of a deadline, wondering where the day went.

For those of us in the world who “celebrate” Daylight Saving Time, the next few days will feel strange as we re-adjust — everyone muttering "It doesn't feel like it should be this time."

So, how do we reclaim control of our schedules regardless of the time change? Enter the magic word: intentionality.

Instead of letting the hours drift away like a rogue balloon, set some ground rules for your day.

Write down your top three priorities and focus on those.

Schedule buffer time between tasks (because, let's be honest, things rarely go according to plan).

And for the love of all things productive, turn off those pesky social media notifications, or here’s an idea — just put your phone on silent mode for a while.

Here's the thing: you won’t get more time, but you can definitely get more intentional with the time you have.

By prioritizing and planning, you can avoid that panicked "where did the day go?" feeling and spend your precious minutes on what truly matters.

So, raise a fist (or a coffee mug) to reclaiming your schedule.

Here's to a productive week, even if it feels like it shouldn't quite be this time yet. 🙂
