Best Practices

Time Zone Considerations

Always check that your timezone is set correctly. Participants will see times in their own timezone.

Buffer Time

Consider adding 15-30 minutes buffer between meetings to avoid back-to-back scheduling.

Multiple Days

For multi-day events, set availability for each day separately to account for different schedules.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Being Too Restrictive

Offering very limited availability makes it harder to find common times. Be generous initially and narrow down later.

Ignoring Time Zones

Always double-check your timezone setting, especially when scheduling with participants in different regions.

Not Considering Breaks

Remember to account for lunch breaks, travel time between meetings, and personal preferences for meeting times.
