Practical Tips & Best Practices

💡 Pro Tips:

  • Be mindful of Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes: regions transition clocks on different dates in March and November.
  • Indian Standard Time (IST) does not observe daylight saving time and maintains a fixed UTC+5:30 offset year-round.
  • Use 24-hour military time notation to eliminate AM/PM meeting scheduling ambiguities across remote teams.
