I average out the spring and fall changes and just set my clocks 39 minutes ahead year-round.

Yeah but you need to know when they'd be sleeping, for example, so you still need to figure something out related to time differences.

You both just have present your working or availability hours beforehand. Honestly this works better for me than someone assuming I'm available for an 8am meeting. I live on the US east coast, but my sleeping schedule is more west coast.

Yeah I’m in the us east but work in a factory so I have to explain it anyways

What if you don't want to ask for some specific reason? Time zones!

Checkmate!

Nope, that was a check! The reason of not wanting to ask for availability periods still exists with time zones.
