How to use the clock on Upwork

  1. Proposals sent in the first hour of a posting get read far more often, so being awake for their morning matters more than the proposal itself.
  2. Connects are wasted on jobs posted while the buyer sleeps. Check the clock before you spend them.
  3. US East and US Central together are most of the buyer base. If you only track one clock, track New York.
