Key considerations

  • DST: Phoenix does not observe daylight saving time; Sydney does.
  • Shoulder hours: early mornings (07:00–09:00) and late afternoons (17:00–21:00) can unlock extra overlap.
  • Avoid burnout: repeated late-night meetings hurt teams. Use async updates when overlap is minimal.

Is now a good time to call?
Look at the grid above and choose a green-green overlap when possible. If you see green-yellow, it’s still workable. If one side is grey, consider async.
