Best tip I was ever given is block out times in your calendar for working. This makes sure all your time doesn't get sucked into meetings.

One place I worked at with multiple bad time zones, I had to block out after hours to stop people adding me to meetings all through the night,. Still there was a weekly 11:30pm I couldn't avoid...

I usually have blocks in the afternoons. Mostly because my coworkers are US based and the only overlap we have for meetings are our mornings. But that also means they squeeze in as many meetings in the mornings as possible. I get exhausted after 3-4 hours of meetings though and the rest of the day feels less productive.
