Scheduling Tips

1

Always share a pre-built Timezone Planner link when first engaging a new client.

2

Block out your "call hours" window in your calendar and share it in your email signature.

3

Use the shortlist feature to propose 3 specific time slots to avoid endless back-and-forth.

4

Factor in DST changes β€” your overlapping window may shift by an hour in spring/autumn.

Use the Color-Coded Planner to Find Your Window

The Timezone Meeting Planner shows a visual 24-hour grid where each hour is color-coded:

9 am – 6 pm local time. The ideal window for meetings. 7–9 am and 6–10 pm. Possible but not ideal. Outside working hours or weekends. Avoid unless necessary.

Share This With Your Team

Open the Timezone Planner pre-loaded, then use the Share button to copy a link - or shortlist specific slots and share those too.
