08:00am I’m brewing green tea and checking my email. The majority of my company is based in Stockholm, so with a nine-hour time difference, the start of my day is the end of everyone else’s. This is also a good time for me to catch my Swedish colleagues before they go home, so I often have meetings first thing in the morning. This sets the tone for the rest of my day.
