Leaving on Wednesday from Hawaii residence. Staying for 10 hours in Korea.
Arriving in Beijing on Friday. Doing a show (music) on Saturday night.
Then returning back to Hawaii on Sunday! Have to play again on Monday night.

The best way to adjust is to sleep on the plane, definitely. It might be hard to, but once you get on the plane, basically pretend that you’re in that country already, and adjust sleep habits accordingly. So, if you’re on the plane and it’s midnight in Beijing but still day in Hawaii, then you should sleep.
Since it’s such a whirlwind trip, chances might be good that jet lag won’t affect you too much, but could make you feel lousy for a few days. You could try keeping your sleep times as normal (whenever you’d be sleeping in Hawaii) and only allow your self to sleep during that time.
When you finally return to H. Make sure you don’t take any naps, but only go to bed when is a reasonable time.
One way is to set the destination on your watch while on the plane and start doing routine like meals as you would at the destination. At least you condition yourself before arrival. And force yourself to sleep according destination timing too.
