Global Workday Planner
About the global workday planner
The Global Workday Planner gives you a clear, visual timeline of the workday for cities around the world. Add locations, reorder them to match your team’s structure, and see overlapping work windows at a glance—perfect for scheduling calls and planning handoffs.
How it works
Each row represents a city’s local day as a 12-hour timeline with an obvious AM/PM distinction. A thin red line marks the current local time, so you can instantly see whether the workday is starting, in progress, or already over. Core work hours 9:00–4:00 (local time) are shown in green, while the flexible edges 8:00–9:00 and 4:00–5:00 are highlighted in orange. All other hours display in a neutral gray, making it easy to spot where team schedules overlap.
Need to focus?
Did you know that the same reliable Global Workday Planner is also available in a minimalist version designed for deep focus and maximum productivity?
Try it nowAdd, remove, and reorder locations
Start typing a city name and the planner suggests the corresponding IANA time zone (for example, typing “Warsaw” will suggest Europe/Warsaw). Only a limited set of representative cities is included per time zone, so if your first choice isn’t found, try a nearby major city—for example, if “Edinburgh” isn’t listed, use “London.” Remove a row with one click or drag the handle to reorder locations and focus on the teams you work with most often.
Plan with confidence
- Spot green work-hour windows to book meetings that suit everyone.
- Use the orange flexible edges to negotiate early starts or late finishes where culture allows.
- Watch the current-time marker to avoid calling before the workday starts or after it ends.
Designed for clarity
The timeline layout is responsive and easy to read on desktop or mobile. Each location label shows its current local time in 12-hour format with AM/PM, so there’s never confusion about whether you’re scheduling for morning or evening.
Tips for faster scheduling
- Group locations by region, then drag to reorder as projects change.
- Use a “follow-the-sun” sequence (APAC → EMEA → Americas) to plan smooth handoffs.
- When a city isn’t listed, try another major city in the same time zone.
