If feasible, dispense with the thermostat altogether - turn if off.
We have a wood burning insert and use that to heat our home; we have the advantage of being able to harvest wood from our property, so it's economical as well.
In the evening, after the fire dies now, the house slowly cools.
This morning, it was 60 degrees F, but the fire is lit and the house will start to warm up.
While its cool, layered clothing.
But, if that isn't an option - decide if you want heat or cool and set one temperature and leave it.

Non-Applicable. Studio apartment here.
Surprisingly good thermal insulation, though.
No need for HVAC until this weekend.

If you are gone all day, then yes, just turn it off. No point having it run when no one is there. If you are only leaving for an hour or 2, probably just leave it as is.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

For example, this post.
Probably I should have considered what sort of feedback I'd get, if any at all (considering the time zone most of you live in) - but I'm feeling a bit hazy and this is, after all, ill conceived.
Just never mind, if you wish.

I find that a well marinated, grilled flank steak, makes for an awesome carne asada taco. I highly recommend it.

Let's leave the mind-switching thoughts to Griff. He's got a thought a day.

You probably had mixed feelings afterwards...

If you change your mind, then really you've changed your body and somebody else got your old body; assuming it was switched.
