You just said that the issue was that you have things that need to be
completed on a certain day. Things that need to be completed are,
pretty much by definition, "To Do"s.

You don't need to complete your friend's birthday (I assume their mom
did that for them). You might need to send your friend a birthday wish,
but that's a ToDo.

Your paper calendar doesn't suffer the same problem because you have to
do the time zone adjustments in your head - you don't change the time
zone on the calendar. If you're in L.A. and he's in NYC then you just
have to know that even though the paper calendar says his birthday
doesn't start until tomorrow, that at 9PM your time it's officially his
birthday.

You can get the same result from Outlook if you simply don't change the
time zone on your computer when you travel.

Of course if you do this, then you have to mentally adjust the current
time every time you glance at your computer's clock, or when figuring
out how long ago a message was received, or various other similar
time-dependant cases.
