Everyone knows you’re supposed to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors at Daylight Saving Time.

But it can also be a handy reminder for other important tasks:

  • Replace filters: heating, AC, refrigerator, dryer, etc… it’s a good time to check on filters and replace or clean them if necessary.
  • Reverse ceiling fans: reversing the direction of your ceiling fan can help pull the cold air up and keep you warm in the winter.
  • Rotate your mattress: rotating can help extend the life of the mattress and keep you comfy on winter nights.
  • Check your emergency kit: make sure all your items are stocked and up-to-date.
