Hot take: I hated planning my day around calls, then Lisbon showed me another way
In my experience, I was sure video calls at set times were the only way to stay on track with my team. Last quarter, I was in Lisbon and the time difference made those morning syncs a real pain. My boss suggested we try just sharing written updates in a shared doc each evening instead. I thought it would lead to more confusion, but honestly, it gave me more focused hours to get my accounting tasks done. Seeing how much quieter my days became without back-to-back meetings totally changed my mind. Now, I check in once a day and it feels way more sustainable. Take this with a grain of salt, but for nomads, loosening up on live chats might save your sanity.
