How to Stay Productive When the World Is Ending by Reductress

A biting humor collection about the cult of productivity and the feeling of impending doom that comes with it, from Reductress.

Juggling careers, maintaining relationships, managing side gigs, and sustaining an engaging social media presence is hard--and we're expected to do it all while battling the ever-present feeling of existential dread against the backdrop of climate catastrophe, looming pandemics, and social isolation.

From the editors and most popular writers of Reductress, the only satirical women's magazine in publication, How to Stay Productive When the World is Ending is a collection of essays, how-tos, and "inspirational" graphics to help you laugh when staying both sane and productive in a commodified world feels impossible.

With full-color, humorous photographic examples, this book includes "helpful" advice on such topics as:

• "Doing What You Love" and Why That's Bad
• How to Write the Perfect Email That Conveys Your Brain Is No Longer in Your Body
• Why I'm Prioritizing My Career Over Finding a Better Career

Perfect for adults who are just trying to do their best, this collection perfectly skewers the indignities, big and small, of living through late-stage capitalism.
