Rules for cross-time-zone meetings
- Write times with the city, not the zone abbreviation: “3pm London” is clearer than “3pm BST”.
- Rotate the early and late slots, so one team doesn't always pay for the overlap.
- When there's no overlap, replace the meeting with a written update and a short recorded video.
- Check the weeks in March and October, when the US and Europe change clocks on different dates.
