Implement a 48-hour workday: Who says a day has to be 24 hours? Double it up so everyone has plenty of overlapping time! Relocate the entire team to the International Space Station: No time zones up there—problem solved! Just watch out for space debris. Mandate caffeine IV drips: Sleep is for the weak. With a constant caffeine supply, who needs time zones? Standardize all team activities on lunar time: It's great preparation for your eventual moon office. Hire a full-time dream interpreter: Schedule meetings in your dreams. Rotate team members' time zones every week: Keeps everyone on their toes and equally sleep-deprived. Fairness is important!

I communicate effectively and keep everyone on the same page by managing the expectations of the other parties involved, utilizing appropriate technology such as Slack, scheduling times with other members that run parallel to meetings, and preserving documentation of all important decisions made.

Use asynchronous tools like Slack or Asana for ongoing updates Schedule overlap hours for real-time collaboration Rotate meeting times to accommodate different time zones Create clear documentation to reduce back-and-forth Foster a culture of inclusivity and respect for diverse work schedules If you're in a start-up, these will break regularly.

First thing would be setting the ground rules w.r.t the working timings. Select a preferred slot where meetings could be hosted seamlessly. Use of proper communication channels for the crisp and clear data flow. A practice of tagging the right people and sharing the right information as soon as possible (not waiting for others to login) would make sure that no data is lost. In any scenario, the human factor plays an important role. Thus building relationships across the team members makes a huge difference. If a person is working on multiple programs, allocating the right amount of time and following a schedule can aid towards the betterment process.

Build trust by bringing your distributed teams together. It's critical at the beginning of team creation as the teams are forming to have the team members get to know each other. Teach your team especially the management side to place a high value on asynchronous communication (Email, Slack, bug tracking, source code control systems, etc). Normally synchronous (real time) meetings are only necessary when there is conflict. Understand the limitations of your various locations - public transportation hours, local norms, etc. I've also found that forcing the one calling the meeting to have the meeting during normal working hours for the other team members rather then their own nips a lot of unnecessary real time meetings in the bud.
