Personally I solve this problem by just doing everything in UTC. All my clocks, calendars, phones, everything read UTC.

"Always use UTC" works if you really, really always use UTC.

What about interfacing with the outside world, which doesn't always use UTC?

Translate. But frankly I often still use UTC to coordinate with people, especially when coordinating meetings with people in 3 timezones.
