The instructions work but short form if trophies are sparkling you are ready. If they are not sparkling and you move back in time every hour back is added to to counter for when it will sparkle. Don't panic! To avoid this  I generally leave my send tab open (good habit) and move forward from real time to the time the trophies sparkle. Close send tab verify sparkle, open send tab. close game by selecting circle at bottom  of screen. I generally go to real time by moving toggle back and forth. I open game with send tab open and close without doing anything. If you could gift before you closed screen you can gift on first day back. If you could not gift then the furthest day back you can collect trophies but cannot gift. Always leave game with send tab open. Move back desired number of days. Open, close send tab, collect trophies. Open send tab or visit friends and gift friends if possible that day. Do not charge your friends sites when you visit. Finish with send tab open. Leave game by circle at bottom. If you go to box and get rid of game the next time you open you will not be able to gift. Leave game in quasi closed state so send tab remains open. Now you can move forward to next day. You can definitely gift and collect trophies. March forward to real time. It seems scary and not possible. Good friends here helped me, a real scaredy cat get through it. If you just want energy get the trophies sparkling (not required), move back a day or two, collect trophies (or not), move forward until time is current. You can reach max energy without collecting trophies. You can have more energy than max by collecting trophies. Note crafting time can be speed up with time adjustment. Trophies expire with time adjustment.
