Daylight Savings Time Changes (1262)
Coach Training
All ADDCA class start times are based on Eastern Time in the U.S. An easy reference is to use a time zone converter and look at the time in New York.
Twice per year, Daylight Savings Time changes the clocks. This happens at 2:00 AM on a Sunday morning.
- In the U.S. spring, our clocks moves forward an hour. This typically happens the second Sunday in March.
- In the U.S. fall, the clocks moves back an hour. This typically happens the first Sunday in November.
An easy way to remember this is “spring forward, fall back”.
Upcoming time changes will be discussed in active classes, and we will also send an email reminder as it approaches.

ADHD Quotes
ADHD is also an attention "abundance" challenge.
When you are highly interested in a subject, task or project you can intensely hyper focus on it for hours and completely lose track of time.
The key is to match the intensity of your engaged attention with a purposeful, inspiring intention.
This combination frequently manifests in a positive result.
