One thing I always find is helpful; a fist width at arm's length spans approx 15 degrees which is how far the earth rotates (or apparently the sun moves) in 1 hour so you can estimate how much daylight you have left by measuring in an arc down from the sun's position to where it should set.
In the same way, if you mark where the sun was at noon at your camp you can estimate the time from that point to the sun's current point.
