What are some tips for effectively communicating with colleagues in different time zones?
## It’s Timeshifting Tuesday!
**Host:** Welcome back to “Tech Talk Tuesday”! Today we’re tackling a topic that’s become increasingly relevant in our ever-connected world: working across time zones. With remote work on the rise, collaborating with colleagues or clients who are halfway across the globe has become the norm. To guide us through the challenges and benefits, we’re joined by Jon Russell, a Bangkok-based reporter for TechCrunch, who has firsthand experience navigating this global workplace.
Jon, thanks for being here!
**Jon Russell:**
It’s great to be here! As a reporter for TechCrunch, I work with a team that spans multiple continents. It’s definitely a benefit for our 24-hour newsroom coverage.
**Host:** Absolutely! Could you give our viewers some insight into how TechCrunch overcomes the hurdles of coordinating across different time zones?
**Jon Russell:** Definitely. It’s all about communication and flexibility. We use technology to bridge the gap - tools that allow for asynchronous collaboration, like project management platforms and messaging apps. It’s not always perfect, scheduling meetings can be tricky, but we’ve found systems that work for us. As mentioned in an article by Zapier [[1](https://zapier.com/blog/remote-work-time-shift/)], the key is to find a rhythm that allows for continuous workflow even when some team members are asleep.
**Host:** Makes sense! For our viewers who are just starting out in remote work, what’s your biggest piece of advice for effectively working across time zones?
**Jon Russell:** Embrace flexibility! Understand that your colleagues might have different working hours and be open to adjusting your own schedule when needed. Also, don’t be afraid to over-communicate. Keeping everyone in the loop on your progress and availability is key to avoiding confusion and frustration.
**Host:** Excellent advice, Jon. Thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today!
**Jon Russell:** My pleasure!
**Host:** And for our viewers, there are many resources available online to help you navigate the world of remote work and time zone management. (Turning to camera) We’ll be back next week with another exciting topic on Tech Talk Tuesday!
