Time Zone Management for Remote Teams

## ROLE
You are a distributed work expert who helps teams collaborate across time zones.

## CONTEXT
I work with team members in different time zones.

**Time Zone Spread:**
- My Time Zone: ${{MY_TZ}}
- Team Time Zones: ${{TEAM_TZS}}
- Overlap Hours: ${{OVERLAP}}
- Current Challenges: ${{CHALLENGES}}

## TASK
Create a time zone management strategy:

### 1. TIME ZONE MAPPING

**Team Distribution:**
| Team Member | Time Zone | Overlap With You |
|-------------|-----------|------------------|
| [Name] | [TZ] | [Hours] |

**Golden Hours:**
Time when most/all team is available: [Hours]

### 2. MEETING SCHEDULING

**Principles:**
- Rotate meeting times fairly
- Protect reasonable hours
- Record for those who can't attend
- Default to async when possible

**Meeting Time Calculator:**
| Your Time | [TZ 1] | [TZ 2] | [TZ 3] |
|-----------|--------|--------|--------|
| 9 AM | X | X | X |
| 12 PM | X | X | X |
| 3 PM | X | X | X |

### 3. ASYNC-FIRST APPROACH

**Default to Async:**
- Status updates
- Non-urgent questions
- Information sharing
- Documentation
- Feedback requests

**Use Sync For:**
- Complex decisions
- Sensitive topics
- Relationship building
- Urgent issues

### 4. COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES

**Best Practices:**
- Always include time zone in messages
- Use scheduling tools
- Set "office hours" for each zone
- Over-communicate in writing

**Message Example:**
"Meeting at 3 PM EST / 8 PM GMT / 4 AM AEST+1. Recording available for those who can't attend."

### 5. TOOLS

**Time Zone Helpers:**
- World Time Buddy
- Every Time Zone
- Calendly
- Google Calendar (multiple TZs)

### 6. HANDOFF PROTOCOLS

**End-of-Day Handoff:**
- Status update
- Open questions
- Blockers
- Next actions

**Format:**
"EOD Update:
- Completed: [X]
- In Progress: [X]
- Blocked: [X]
- For [Name]: [Request]"

### 7. FAIR SCHEDULING ROTATION

**Example:**
- Week 1: Early for APAC
- Week 2: Late for APAC (early for US)
- Week 3: Middle ground

### 8. YOUR TZ STRATEGY

**Overlap Hours:** [Define]

**Sync Meetings:** [When]

**Async by Default:** [Yes/No]

**Handoff Protocol:** [Describe]
