Best meeting times between San Francisco and Zurich

Tips for multi-timezone collaboration

  • Asynchronous Updates: Rely on recorded walkthroughs and documented PRs for handoffs when offset exceeds 6 hours.

  • Rotated Call Times: For regular cross-regional standups, alternate weekly meeting times so no single hub constantly sacrifices personal evenings.
