    Have you ever wondered how life might be different if we kept 2 times, a local solar time for the things that do not matter and an official or coordinated time?

    I’m disabled, and have little reason to keep coordinated time, so I’m biased. I’ve thought about trying true solar time as solar noon is not well coordinated with my time zone.

    I find the periodicity of noon has a psychological impact on my circadian rhythm that I do not care to bend myself to fit like a slave to a train schedule, but I might appreciate a compromise of bending time to fit my rhythm against the natural Solar cycle.

      We basically have this already in the form of UTC+0 (GMT). For most cases where organizations need to coordinate operations across time zones, they just have everyone use GMT.
