This year for the first time I tried shifting all my elctronics to a non-dst time zone equivalent to summer time. I spent the whole winter with a 1h time difference relative to my environment and it was absolutely fine. Didn't miss appointments, coming to work early and leaving early was accepted... I kept waiting for the powers that be to drop DST, but it turns out you can just opt out

Wait so you switched to the dailight saving time permanently?

I think so, yeah. It was professionally and personally more acceptable to be early/early than late/late. Also if I get anything wrong in my personal life I'd rather be 1h early than 1h late.

Doctors say it's the wrong one, but my conspiracy theory is that when they do they don't really account for the fact that the 9-5 rhythm is what's actually bullshit rather than the correlation between then number on your phone and the sunlight, and they also say that a regular rhythm is what's really important so I did it this way because it was easier, and if society ever becomes sane I'll resynchronize with it then.

Edit: I did say "non-dst time zone," but I only meant a time zone without automatic DST shifts for my computer. In real life I never remember which one is DST and which one isn't ; in my country they call it summer/winter time.
