Forgive me if I start with the simple things. One skill you need is the ability to swap running programs. If you open 2 programs, one wil probably be on top of the other one (in this case the game will be full screen, and the date and time screen will be under it.  To swap these screens, you need to use the alt + tab (just hold down the alt key and tap the tab key).  This will bring up a selection screen showing a smaller version of both screens side by side.  By tapping the tab key WHILE HOLDING DOWN the alt key, you can swap between them without closing either of them.  The game may minimize, but that is ok.  Don't use the minimize button on the top bar to minimize the game though.  I'm not sure why, but that seems to be a problem.  If you haven't done this before, I'd try it on other programs first.  Just open two or three programs and try it.

1.  Set the talismen you want to run. I would suggest starting with one that isn't that important to you just as a test. Use it for half the time it is good for (actually, with a 2 hour talisman, I usually run it about an hour and 50 minutes).

2.  Open the gift window.

3.  Collect any gifts you have received, close the window and open it again if there were any gifts, or you will lose them.

4.  Open the Send tab

5.  Go to Date and Time (using the alt/tab trick).

6. Click the Change Date and Time button.

7.  Carefully change the time back to a time just AFTER you set the talismen. If you set the talisman at 1:00, take the time back to 1:03. This will be the target time each time you go back. A hint:  this works better if you stay either a.m. or p.m. If you start a talisman at 11:55 a.m., by the time your clock has run for even a half hour, you will be into p.m. and you will also have to change that back. I missed that early on, and I lost some very valuable talismen. I try to start it after noon or before 10 a.m. just to be on the safe side.

8.  Click OK on the time change window. LEAVE THE DATE AND TIME app open.

9.  ALT/Tab back to the game.

10.  If it worked the time will be earlier, and your talismen will still be working and have just short of the original talismen time left.

Let me know if this works for you.

I always set a time for about 10 minutes short of the total time the talisman can run so I don't forget it. You can't time travel to get energy if  you do this or you will lose the talismen, so you might want to use a Vigor and just go one hour at a time rather than using up your hoarded food.
