If you want more time in the evening, then knock off earlier.+1

1426429 2016-09-24 10:45:00 Interesting reading about daylight saving and it's beginnings and supposed benefits and drawbacks

Was first suggested by New Zealander George Hudson in 1895 but was taken up by others later on

1426430 2016-09-24 18:01:00 My first priority was setting my alarm clock an hour forward.

Being awake at 0600 seemed a bit strange as it was still pitch black at that time of day. I will be working till 9pm so the benefit of the extra daylight kicks in.

1426431 2016-09-24 19:19:00 I forgot all about it last night. Probably because I was devastated by Hawke's Bay losing against Tasman in the ITM Cup round. I woke at usual time of 6.00/7.00 and it was raining, so went back to the land of nod instead of going for my early morning walk. Ah well, there is always tomorrow.

Probably still as many to do yet.
