How do you deal with the 9 hour difference between Europe and West Coast?
2 comments

I regularly have a meeting at 17pm CET with a colleague on the west coast. That's 8am for him.

Yes he has to wake up 1h earlier than me on that day, but he also probably earns 2 or 3 times my salary just because of his location so fair enough.

I work remotely from New Zealand for a company in Ireland

I altered my work hours to 3AM to 12 noon. It is amazing.

I catch everyone in the office at the end of the day for meetings. I pick up and finish and work they need done, I get 3-4 hours of deep work every day when they are all gone.

And then I finish at noon, so I can go exercise and enjoy the day working on my startup.

Bed at 6PM to wake up at 3AM

This schedule may work if you have no other obligations. But it won’t work for a lot of people.
Yeah kids will f** that schedule completely.
Not to mention the biological fuckery of trying to maintain those hours
