Found a solid way to handle time zones when working with a team across three continents
My main client is in London, my dev team is in Manila, and I'm currently in Mexico City. For six months, meeting times were a mess and we missed deadlines. I finally made a shared Google Sheet with a simple formula that shows everyone's local time next to a single 'source' time in UTC. We all check it before setting anything. It cut our scheduling errors down to zero in the last two weeks. Has anyone else found a better tool for this, or is a spreadsheet still the way to go?

Glad the sheet works for you, but I have to disagree that it's the best way. In my experience, those static sheets get outdated fast when someone travels or daylight saving hits. You end up managing a document instead of just seeing the time. I've moved my whole team to using a simple world clock app that auto updates, and it's one less thing to manually check.
