“It may sound simple, but my iCal, or phone calendar, is what really keeps me in check and provides the structure I need to achieve my goals — everything from personal to private goes on there. On the first day of the week, I’ll schedule in the things that I know if I don’t give an exact time to, they won’t happen. Examples of these include gym sessions, shiurim, and a few nights where I just write ‘recharge night — do not book to go out.’ Having said all of the above, the one daily routine I really am absolute about is a gratitude list. I write down three to ten things every morning that I am grateful for. I find this really does start the day off right.” Avital was born in London and moved to Israel in the summer of 2016.

“I’m big on a pen and notebook as a way to take notes in meetings. I use a draft in Gmail for my to-do lists, and it is better than any app made for lists. In terms of habits outside of the office, I schedule ‘meetings’ for things I need to get done the same way I’ll schedule meetings with people at work.” Alex is the cofounder and CEO of SocialRank, a social-media analytics start-up in NYC.
