I would go one step further, just get rid of timezone completely and just get up at different times depending on where you are on the planet.
So instead of looking up what time it is somewhere, you'd have to look up their local offset and mentally recalibrate what all the numbers mean in relation to time of day?
Why do you even need to know what the numbers mean in relation to time of day? 99% it is completely irrelevant whether someone is unavailable because they are asleep, at lunch, at dinner, (not) at work,... but just when they are or are not available. Or you just want to communicate an event and that event happens at one time and everyone considering attending it just has to convert it to their own timezone now.
