Writing that doesn't assume you're fine.
About Katherine
I write about productivity, burnout, and the shifts that make capable people feel like they’ve lost a step, including the ones nobody warns you about, like perimenopause.
Most of it isn’t a discipline problem. It’s a capacity problem. How your brain handles attention and stress, and how your body handles exhaustion and hormonal change, matters more than effort ever will.
What I write is practical, and built for your actual week rather than an ideal one.
Books by Katherine Christie
Getting Work Done When Focus Is Hard
A compassionate, practical guide for professionals who are trying hard but still can't get things done, explaining why effort alone fails an overloaded brain and offering real strategies for starting, focusing, and ending the workday without shame.
Burnout Recovery Workbook for Women
You didn't burn out because you weren't strong enough. You burned out because you kept going long past the point where going was sustainable. A structured 30-day program grounded in the actual clinical research on burnout, built for what happened to your body and nervous system, not your mindset.
Perimenopause: The Whole Truth
Something is wrong and nobody can tell you what it is: the 3am racing heart, the words that won't come, the weight that won't shift. It's perimenopause, it can last a decade starting in your late 30s, and the medical system is built to miss it. A clear, evidence-based guide to what's actually happening in your body and how to walk into an appointment and be taken seriously.
Productivity is not about doing more. It's about doing what matters without losing yourself.
