Making Miami–Phoenix work

  • With 3 hours between you, you can share most evenings. Pick one standing call night a week anyway, so it never slides.
  • Watch a show at the same time with a call open. A small gap makes live dates easy.
  • Use the difference: one of you can text the other good morning before they wake.
