Lidar com fusos horários é como orquestrar. Certa vez, liderando um projeto com equipes na Europa, Ásia e Américas, criamos “ilhas de sobreposição” — momentos estratégicos para alinhamentos ao vivo. Fora disso, mensagens assíncronas fluíam, mantendo o trabalho em movimento. Uma atualização que enviei à noite foi ouvida pela equipe asiática pela manhã, e ao acordar, encontrei tudo avançando perfeitamente. Essa harmonia, combinada com respeito às rotinas e pequenos gestos de empatia, transformou a diversidade de horários em um poderoso motor de produtividade e conexão.

I immediately let collaborators know where I'm located and introduce them to worldtimebuddy.com to compare time zones. I also encourage folks to use my Calendly link to request meetings with me, as I have set my availability there. These tools help a lot! I am also open to being flexible and working earlier or later than usual for a specific purpose or a time-sensitive deadline (on rare occasions when it's needed).

Finding harmony while juggling work and personal life across time zones requires intentional planning and clear boundaries. It’s about setting realistic expectations with both clients and team members regarding availability, and using tools like shared calendars to ensure transparency. For remote collaboration, I encourage leveraging asynchronous communication to maintain progress without demanding everyone’s immediate attention, especially across different time zones. Lastly, ensuring you block time for personal moments—whether through scheduled breaks or offline hours—is key to maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

People from different time zones and different cultures are always interesting for me to communicate. In the era of globalisation often we need to communicate with people in different time zones. It’s easy to me to communicate with them as we are always with smart phone with internet connection. For formal communication, I make sure the meeting time should be suitable for both and ensure fixing the time earlier.

During the first meeting with the client I share my availability, setting time windows in which they can contact me. When we agree to develop a project, I also propose a project schedule, so the client knows what to expect around what time.

Pour trouver l’harmonie dans la collaboration à distance au-delà des fuseaux horaires, il est important de définir des horaires flexibles et transparents qui respectent les disponibilités de chacun. Utiliser des outils numériques pour coordonner les tâches et documenter les progrès permet de maintenir l’alignement malgré les décalages. Prioriser les moments clés pour des réunions en direct tout en favorisant l’asynchrone aide à équilibrer les besoins professionnels et personnels. Enfin, instaurer une culture de confiance et de respect mutuel renforce la collaboration et la productivité.

- La comunicación siempre es clave. Que sea asertiva y transparente ayuda muchísimo.Podemos tener diferentes zonas horarias pero en todas tenemos tiempo para leer y estar enterados. Luego viene la acción y que todo vaya fluyendo, sin olvidar ni dejar atrás el comunicado: Debe ser con propósito y directo al punto. Con esto evitamos los retrasos ya naturales por la zona horaria. - Disciplina. Es sumamente importante y los hábitos traen la disciplina. Debemos crear de las tareas exitosas y logradas grandes hábitos. El hábito del tiempo, es uno de los más importantes, tiempo para dedicar a tus asuntos personales y a tu familia, tiempo para estudiar y ser autodidacta, tiempo para crear, tiempo para colaborar con los colegas o amigos.

To me it's not the ' Time Management ', it's actually the ' Mind Management', we should plan every details before atleast one day not in a diary but in our mind & attach them one by one with our daily habits. Everyday we have 86400 sec & our mind can think more or less 60000 different thoughts & the storage capacity in our brain🧠 is 2.5 million GB👌, 100 bellion braincells, every brain cell has 15000 different neural connection in our so called brain🧠. 3 important points - 1) journaling everything in the mind before 24 hours 2) attach them with our regular habits 3) switch on your true capacity & biological clock. Cheers 🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠

I like to break this in to three 'blocks': 1 - Family time: the non-negotiable times of the day/week when my family needs me to be present. 2 - Me time: the time I need to keep myself at optimal mental and physical health to make sure I can put the work in to the other two time blocks. 3 - Client time: This can be broken in to both comms time and work time (e.g., preparing deliverables). I have bookable calendar appointments (via calendy etc) during this comms block of client time. Working with clients in multiple timezones spread up to 14 hours apart means that my entire week might be 'off kilter' from the norm. I start my week on Sunday evenings to work with New Zealand for example while I'm based in Sweden.
