Or more frequently, perhaps in one hour increments four times a year instead of just twice.

Why not twelve times a year?

Or set your clock every day?

I am passionate about this. I can order my activities around natural sunrise and sunset. I hate the biennial and legislated disruption

Why not set clocks to 6pm at local sundown? That at least has historical precedent.

Daylight savings time has just become a method to make it harder to make travel schedules. It's a method for the govrenment to make the people think that "something is being done" about energy, time, the environment, health care, taxes, and flat carbonated drinks.

IMHO, you'd be best off just setting your watch to Greenwich Time and not worrying about what everybody else does.

I like your idea of 12 one-hour adjustments.

I've never had much trouble falling back an hour in October but trying to catch up in April is a killer. Why not agree agreed to fall back an hour a month and then fall back 12 hours in December.

It's too flippin' hot to go outside in August when the sun's up anyway.
