The Israeli Freelancer Year: Strategic Calendar

A course for Israeli freelancers (osek patur and osek murshe) who want to stop reacting to deadlines and start steering the year. Six chapters cover the full annual cycle: VAT cadence, mkdamot strategy, expense optimization, end-of-year decisions, and tax season execution.

Overview

Most Israeli freelancers run their tax year reactively. A deadline alert pops up on the 15th of the month, they file what's due, and move on. They never look at the year as a whole, and they pay for that every April when the annual return reveals decisions they could have made differently in November.

This course flips that. The Israeli freelancer year is structured: there are 12 fixed deadlines you cannot move, and 6 strategic decisions you can. The deadlines are mechanical (the skills in the catalog already handle them). The decisions are where the money is.

Each chapter pairs a strategic decision with the skill that handles its tactical execution. The course teaches when to act and what to look for; the skills do the math and file the form.

How to use this course

Read the chapters in order on the first pass. Chapter 1 gives you the calendar mental model that the later chapters refer back to. After that you can return to individual chapters as you hit each strategic decision in your own year.

Each chapter ends with a list of catalog skills that automate the tactical work for that chapter. You can open each one on https://agentskills.co.il/skills/ to see what it does, or chat with it directly there. The course teaches what to decide; the skills handle the mechanical execution.
