Here is your friendly reminder to set your clocks ahead one hour this weekend. Losing that hour of sleep can be difficult, but this time of year can be a great reminder to accomplish some important tasks at home and in the office. As you go through changing the clocks, here are some other things that you can do at the same time.

• Check your smoke detectors and change batteries, if applicable, in the home and office.
• Check fire extinguishers in the home and office.

Some of these routine things might get missed as they are not necessary on a monthly or more frequent basis. We encourage you to take this time to take care of the little things and feel more ready for Spring. Here at AdvoCap, we are springing forward with you and ready for sunny weather, warmer days, and lots of fun in 2024.
