Eran Dror Late last year we had the honor and pleasure to join researchers from Cambridge University’s Center for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) and researchers from Oxford University’s Future of Humanity Institute (FHI) in leading a Design Sprint workshop on an interesting problem: how to help decision makers in tech companies, governments, militaries, and NGOs … Read more
A couple of years ago, a very dear friend looked me in the eyes and called me a “Startup Snob”. It stung, but I had to admit he had a point. I’ve been involved in the startup scene since as early as 2001, when I became a tech journalist covering the exciting world of startups, … Read more

If you’ve been awake for the past year, you’ve heard of Marie Kondo, the Japanese home-organizing guru, and her hit Netflix show Tidying Up which features her KonMari method of organization.

I’ve always fantasized about having a real grownup morning routine. It started in college, many years ago, where I had lived with my first girlfriend in a messy apartment in Haifa.
