My simple time zone check each morning saved my work week

I was constantly messing up client calls because I'd lose track of where I was versus their time, so I began setting a daily reminder to note all time differences before planning my day. It felt a bit silly at first, like why didn't I do this sooner, but after a week, I stopped having those panic moments before meetings. Now, I just glance at my phone in the morning, and my schedule makes way more sense. How do you keep time zones from tripping you up?

Oh man, I feel this so much. I got burned a few times last year mixing up AM and PM for overseas calls. What finally helped was adding a second world clock widget to my phone's home screen, so I see my main client's city time right next to my own. It's a total game changer.

That world clock widget @nathan775 mentioned is smart for fixed locations. For those of you who travel often, how do you adjust when you're the one hopping time zones? Do you just live by your home clock or constantly reset your watch?
