That\u2019s why you shouldn\u2019t try to schedule meetings across time zones off the top of your head. No matter how crafty you may be, there are just too many factors to keep in mind.<\/p>\n
But\u2014oh, yes\u2014there is <\/em>a better way.<\/p>\n This tip originally appeared in the free <\/em>Cool Tools newsletter<\/em><\/strong><\/a> <\/em><\/strong>from <\/em>The Intelligence<\/em><\/a>. Get the next issue <\/em>in your inbox<\/em><\/a> and get ready to discover all sorts of awesome tech treasures!<\/em><\/p>\n Agreeing on a time to meet with people in cities around the globe means finding a time where everyone is online\u2014or at the very least awake.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s exactly where Zoneless\u200b<\/strong><\/a> comes in.<\/p>\n \u279c Zoneless is a free website for figuring out overlapping meeting times across multiple time zones.<\/p>\n \u231a There\u2019s no setup whatsoever\u2014just head to the site and start adding cities, and you\u2019ll have your optimal time within a minute<\/strong> or less<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u2705 First, open up the site\u200b<\/a>\u2014then:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udca1 The idea, then, is to find a time that\u2019s green for everyone\u2014or at the very least not far from it.<\/p>\n So, using my example from before, 4 p.m. in Portland works best. At that time, it\u2019s 9 a.m. in Tokyo and 11 a.m. in Sydney (the following <\/em>day\u2014make sure you pay attention to the dates in the interface!). And that\u2019s incredibly easy to see in the visual Zoneless gave us.<\/p>\n \u261d\ufe0f All that\u2019s left is to click the time you choose, and a summary will be copied onto your device\u2019s clipboard\u2014including the times and a link back to the service, in case anyone else wants a more visual view. That also gives the people you\u2019re coordinating with a chance to use the tool themselves to propose a different time, if necessary.<\/p>\n This won\u2019t always<\/em> work flawlessly, of course. Coordinating a meeting that includes Europe, the U.S., and Asia means someone <\/em>is going to be getting up early or staying up late (I know this one from experience!).<\/p>\n But this tool makes it so much easier to figure that out\u2014and, in many cases, to find a time that is<\/em> reasonably manageable for everyone, wherever they may be.<\/p>\n Treat yourself to all sorts of brain-boosting goodies like this with the free <\/em>Cool Tools newsletter<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u2014starting with an instant introduction to an incredible audio app that\u2019ll tune up your days in truly delightful ways.<\/em><\/p>\nYour new time zone supertool<\/h2>\n
