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. -
If you set up a recurring sync, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Munich (10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Dubai) is the natural home for it. Despite the 2-hour difference, an 8-hour overlap keeps things simple and gives both teams breathing room. Finally, Munich observes daylight saving and Dubai doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn. To edit hours, add more timezones, and share with your team, create a free collaborative board.
