Just get a mechanical twist timer. As you walk by once in a while, give it a

You could use a sprinkler timer switching a relay to the power.


That's just replacing the burden of remembering one thing with
remembering something else. His problem is remembering, period. Net
gain, ZERO.

Here is a solution:

Hook any old daily timer to a MECHANICAL 7-day timers in series.
Program the daily to run 6 hours a day. Program the 7-day timer to run
one hour a week.

End result will be one hour of power every 4 weeks.
