Chapter One: The Wheel
The alarm goes off at 6:12, because 6:00 felt too harsh and 6:15 felt like losing. You know the rest. Shower, inbox, commute, inbox, a meeting about the inbox.
By Thursday you are tired in a way a weekend doesn't fix, and by Sunday night you can feel Monday leaning on the door.
Here is the strange part: none of it is failing. You are doing everything you were told would add up to a good life. So why does it feel like running in place?
“I read it on the train to a job I have since left. Not on a whim, either: Kate makes you do the math first.”
“Practical where I expected a pep talk. The chapter on time changed how I book my whole week.”
“Kind, clear, and a little dangerous to your old routine.”
Kate Steinham spent twelve years climbing a corporate ladder before she noticed it was a wheel. She now writes and coaches on work, time and what success should actually mean, helping professionals and founders build weeks they don't need a vacation from. Escape the Rat Race is her first book.
