Supposedly, Rav Kanievsky was asked what he does with the "extra" hour during the night of the time change from DST to "regular" time (a.k.a. the winter clock), considering how normally his time is extremely measured and calculated for maximum efficiency.
The answer is that Rav Kanievsky does not bother with DST and just never even adjusts his clocks or schedule. He just uses the regular time all year round.
His schedule is set to work well within that, and since he does not really have to go anywhere on a daily basis and everyone else comes to him, it normally does not present much of a problem. His shul, Lederman, davens mincha all year round at the same time - 12:30pm on his schedule, and they too do not bother to adjust their clocks. At 2AM he gets up to learn.
Why?
In Rav Kanievsky's words, supposedly, "Because some crazy people in the government decided to adjust the clocks I have to listen to them?"
Obviously, such behavior can cause scheduling mix-ups and confusion. Perhaps not by him but by those coming to visit him or by those inviting him to be sandak at a bris, for example - they have to remember to plan taking into account possible confusion regarding the appointed times.
