I average out the spring and fall changes and just set my clocks 39 minutes ahead year-round.

    that’s another option, but we’re used to having 12-16 hours of daylight, having that fall to 5-6 would be a much bigger shock than 10-12.

    not to mention having every hour last the equivalent of 144 current minutes would make the hours really drag on.

      Yeah, but so will the ordinal date calendar with no months, and the shorter seconds but longer minutes. I don’t think the discomfort is an argument that’s entirely valid here, the transition of course shouldn’t be abrupt but the end goal should be the ideal version, that we should aim for and not the midway steps.
