Stop Doing Math Before Meetings: The Ultimate Guide to Managing Global Time Zones
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: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Dubai is 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Copenhagen.
If you set up a recurring sync, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Dubai (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Copenhagen) is the natural home for it. With 8 hours of daily overlap, these two cities are an easy pairing; almost any reasonable hour works. Remember that Copenhagen shifts for daylight saving and Dubai doesn't, so recalculate the overlap after each clock change.
