So I've been traveling A LOT for my new job. What I've realized is trying to book, accept and just simply manage my meetings in outlook is next to impossible. The time zones are what's really making it tough. For example, I am in EST but trying to plan my day tomorrow in PST and I am like "WHA?????".
So a friend of mine at my new job taught me this little trick and has proven to be a life saver (not literally but definitely helpful). When you are making changes to your outlook calendar and you are trying to work around time zones, just modify the time clock in the lower left hand of your screen (this assumes you are using Microsoft Office) to make sure your changes are accurate. You can easily toggle back and forth between time zones by adjusting the clock and your calendar will adjust with it.
It has already saved me time, energy and I am now insured that I am scheduling meetings for 10am rather than 7am PST. Trust me, 7am meetings aren't a good way to make friends in the workplace!
