How to Stay Productive When the World Is Ending by Reductress

A paperback of satire from the editors and writers of Reductress, the self-described only satirical women's magazine still in print. It collects essays, mock how-tos, and deadpan "inspirational" graphics, all printed in full color with staged photographs that play the corporate-wellness look completely straight. The pink cover shows a skeleton at a desk with a laptop and a coffee mug, which sets the tone before you open it.

The book borrows the voice of productivity manuals and women's media, then lets the advice fall apart on schedule. Chapters take on side hustles, career strategy, and the email written by someone whose brain has left the building. It sits in the line of Onion-style news parody, aimed at burnout and late-stage capitalism, and it pairs naturally with the same authors' earlier book, How to Win at Feminism.

Keep it on a desk, a coffee table, or a nightstand, since the short pieces work for a few minutes at a time. It makes a good gift for an overworked friend, a new manager, or anyone whose calendar has outgrown their patience. Open it to a random spread and the layouts alone will usually get a laugh.
