Which isn&#8217;t the case, so I&#8217;ve been introducing myself to new people that I need to engage in meetings including something like &#8220;I work in the Eastern time zone but am generally available until about 6PM Eastern if that&#8217;s better for you&#8221; &amp; asking for a similar response from them. I know some people who live in the Central, Mountain, or Pacific time zones but work 8-5 Eastern. I know others who live in the same area work 9-6 or 11-8 Eastern. We have overseas contractors who work from 3:30 AM to 12:30 PM Eastern, and others who who start working around 10 AM.<\/p>\n<p>Seems like it would make collaborating with others easier if we all had recurring appointments to clarify our non-working hours. A recurring each-weekday appointment like below &#8212; away so it doesn&#8217;t look like I&#8217;m just booked solid at dark-o-clock, recurring, and no reminder (because that would get super annoying). And maybe a recurring weekly one from whatever PM on Friday through whatever AM on Monday if there are a statistically significant of people who&#8217;d be working T-Sat or Sun-Thur.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"444\" class=\"wp-image-9236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image.png 728w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/word-image-300x183.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t really provide much value implemented in a small group \u2013 you generally get a good idea of when your immediate coworkers are working.
