FAQs
What is the best time for international meetings?
Find overlapping work hours. US-Europe: 9-11 AM EST. US-Asia: Early morning PST (5-7 AM) or late evening. Europe-Asia: Afternoon CET. No perfect time exists for global coverage - rotate meeting times to share the burden of odd hours.
How can I schedule meetings without endless email chains?
Use scheduling tools: Calendly (share availability), Doodle (poll participants), When2Meet (visual availability), Microsoft Bookings, or Google Calendar appointment slots. These show your availability and let others pick times, eliminating back-and-forth.
Should I schedule meetings at the same time weekly?
Recurring meetings: consistent time builds routine, easier to remember, reduces scheduling overhead. But rotate times if crossing many zones to share inconvenience. Exception: critical standups - keep consistent even if inconvenient for some.
How long should meetings be?
Default to 25 or 50 minutes (not 30/60) to allow breaks between back-to-back meetings. Typical lengths: Standup (15 min), 1-on-1 (30 min), Team sync (30-60 min), Planning (60-90 min). Shorter is usually better - be ruthless with agendas.
What are no-meeting days?
No-meeting days: designate specific days (often Wednesday or Friday) as meeting-free for focused work. Helps productivity, reduces meeting fatigue, allows deep work. Companies like Asana and Facebook have implemented successfully. Schedule urgent items only.
How do I reduce meeting fatigue?
To reduce fatigue: decline optional meetings, set meeting-free blocks, keep meetings under 45 min, require agendas, record for async viewing, stand/walk during calls, take breaks between meetings, audit and cancel recurring meetings quarterly, and use async communication when possible.
