Making it work

With six hours in common, Sydney and Auckland can meet on almost any working day without anyone bending their hours. The morning in Sydney is the shared part.

The risk with a wide window is the opposite one: meetings spread across all of it and there is no shared hour left for focused work. Keep recurring calls at one end of it.
