Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Lisbon is 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Sydney.
If you set up a recurring sync, 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Lisbon (5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Sydney) is the natural home for it. Since Sydney is 9 hours ahead of Lisbon, the overlap is narrow (about 1 hour); a single, well-protected slot beats hunting for time each week.
