    Hey, I could really use some advice on how to handle time zone differences while working remotely. I work in IST (UTC+5:30), and my team is spread across different time zones. We only have about 2-3 hours of overlap, so meetings often end up being super late for me or early in the morning, and it's becoming tough to balance my productivity with personal time.

    Do you set strict work hours, or do you find yourself adjusting every day? How do you make async collaboration work smoothly? And are there any tools or scheduling tricks you’ve found helpful?

    I’d love to hear how you’ve managed this kind of thing—any tips are much appreciated!

    Handling time zone differences in a blockchain team requires clear schedules and async workflows. Late-night or early-morning meetings reduce productivity. Setting fixed core overlap hours (2-3 hours) helps manage real-time discussions. For the rest, async tools keep work moving.

    I use Slack threads, Notion for documentation, and GitHub PR comments to ensure smooth collaboration. Meetings follow a rotational schedule to share the inconvenience. Batching critical sync calls on fixed days prevents random disruptions. Scheduling tools like World Time Buddy, Clockwise, and Sunsama make planning easier. Google Calendar’s Working Hours ensures clear availability.

    Work-life balance stays intact by setting fixed personal work hours and using Do Not Disturb modes. Async EOD updates replace daily standups, reducing unnecessary calls. This method keeps productivity high without affecting personal time.

    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
