Log onto your Google Account and navigate to your Google Calendar. Select the "Month" tab to change to month view. Beside the month and year indicator, click the navigation arrows until you are on March of the current year. Click on the second Sunday and for the event type, "Begin Daylight Savings - Set your clock forward one hour at 2:00 am." Then click the link for "edit event details >>."
Under the "Repeats" drop-down box, choose "Monthly." A box should appear below that says "Monthly on the second Sunday." In the "Repeat every" drop-down box, choose the number 12. This will make an entry on your Google Calendar every year on the second Sunday of March to display the "Begin Daylight Savings" event.
To set up an email reminder, look under the "Options" section and set the first drop-down box to "email." In the next box, type 1. In the last drop-down box, choose "days". This will send you an email the day before to remind you to change your clock. Be sure to click the "Save" button at the bottom. If you make any changes later and click save, a message will pop-up asking "Would you like to change only this event, all events in the series, or this and all future events in the series?" Click the "All events in the series" button.
Another neat thing that Google allows you to do is to send reminders to your mobile phone. Look in the top right corner of the browser window, beside where Google displays your user name or email address. Click the link for settings and then click the "Mobile Setup" link.
To set a reminder for the end of Daylight Savings Time, repeat steps 1 through 7, but instead of the second Sunday in March, navigate to the first Sunday in November. For the event, type "End Daylight Savings - Set your clock back one hour at 2:00 am." Everything else is configured identically.
