Clock Lord

I’m out of town nine nights out of ten on business, so I’ve been forced to adapt my lifestyle to life on the road. Humans innately try to add a routine and organization to their lives. When you are changing cities every couple of days however, that is virtually impossible.

One of these ways I attempt to accomplish this is by taking my meals and sleeping at the same times each day. This is certainly difficult when changing time zones, but any sense of normalcy I can inject into my life helps. Travel alarm clocks are great for this purpose; they help keep me on schedule, plus I don’t have to rely on the concierge for a wakeup call.

It’s easy to become a little disoriented when you travel through multiple time zones. Not to mention the jetlag you’ll be experiencing, trying to keep track of the correct time can be close to impossible. When you de-board your plane upon arriving in your vacation destination, the last thing you want to make your first priority is to ask a local what time it is. Life would be much simpler if you had a clock to take with you that automatically updated with every new time zone you crossed over.

Fortunately, this notion can be made a reality when you purchase a travel alarm clock. Tiny and lightweight, this travel companion is easy to pack into any suitcase. In fact, when I’m not traveling I always leave mine in my suitcase to make sure I never travel without it. Stow it on your nightstand wherever in the world you may be and it will always keep you up with the times.

When you’re scrambling to make flights, hustle to client meetings, and wake up on time every day, there’s nothing better than having an accurate clock.  When traveling, travel alarm clocks are the most valuable tools in your suitcase.  When purchasing a travel alarm clock, it’s important to have one with a loud alarm.  After all, with jet lag, airplane food, and the stress of travel, you’re much more liable to sleep through an alarm than you would be at home. 

When meeting with clients or other members of the company, punctuality is key to making a good impression.  First impressions are the most important, and when someone is on time, or early, it illustrates that you respect the other person’s time.  There’s nothing worse than missing out on a deal because a client feels the company doesn’t respect their time.  Carry a travel alarm clock with you no matter what you’re doing! 

When preparing for travel, there are a few items one should always take along in addition to the standard fare like passport, clothes, and cash or traveler’s checks. 

~Sandals, they’re great for walking around hotels, campgrounds, or casual urban settings.

~Travel Alarm Clock, you’ll need one if you want to wake up on time, or check the time during the middle of the night; particularly essential for traveling to different time zones.

~Sun Tan Lotion, even in cold arctic settings, your skin can get burned outside, and sunburns ruin vacations.

~Phrasebook or dictionary, only necessary for traveling abroad, but in such cases, it will be of huge assistance.
