"the effect of the storm was devastating, the schedule change should not affect you."
just try to remember that AFFECT is the act of causing an EFFECT and that AFFECT is a verb while EFFECT is a noun.
As simple as 1,2,3 :D

Usage: The confusion of the verbs affect and effect not only is quite common but has a long history. The verb effect was used in place of affect as early as 1494 and in place of affect as early as 1652. If you think you want to use the verb effect but are not certain, check the definitions. The noun affect is sometimes mistakenly used for the noun effect. Except when your topic is psychology, you will seldom need the noun affect.
