Mental gymnastics to figure out what time it is in Tokyo? You're doing it wrong. Here's why your team needs a visual time zone board, not a calculator. -
Best overlap: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Buenos Aires is 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Montreal.
Aim for 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Buenos Aires time — that's 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM over in Montreal. Montreal is 1 hour behind Buenos Aires, but the generous 9-hour window means both teams can meet well within their normal day. Remember that Montreal shifts for daylight saving and Buenos Aires doesn't, so recalculate the overlap after each clock change.
