Supply chain management has been my career for a couple of years now. However, globalization has done a number on me. Our client directory is big enough, but recently I've had to begin attending meetings at very odd times due to timezones. Some in the early morning and some way past my bedtime.

i'd try to plan your day around those meetings. for example if you have a super late meeting in the evening, maybe try to start your day a bit later in the morning?

I feel like that's our new reality, especially with Zoom & remote work!
