Scheduling Tips

1

There is no single time that falls in business hours for SF, London, and Singapore simultaneously.

2

The commonly accepted "least worst" time is 8–9 am PT / 4–5 pm GMT / midnight SGT.

3

Record the meeting and distribute a summary β€” make attendance optional for the Singapore team.

4

Rotate the all-hands timing quarterly so no region always bears the unsocial hours.

5

Consider splitting into regional all-hands + a shared async company update.

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.
