Dr. Kate Litterer

Hi, I’m Dr. Kate Litterer. 

I’m an academically trained Productivity Coach and independent scholar and I specialize in sustainable and well-being-oriented productivity.

My approach is informed by my research on productivity, time management, habit formation, mindfulness, and slow living. In other words: Slow Productivity.

As a writer, I’ve published multiple articles, over 100 blog posts, and a guided workbook on personal productivity.

As a coach and workshop leader, I work with individuals and organizations to increase client productivity while limiting overwhelm and overwork. 

I created and run the popular Intentionally Productive Scholars Program (IPSP), an 8-week virtual program for undergraduate students that teaches sustainable productivity skills through lessons, workbooks, co-working, and group coaching. You can read more about IPSP here.

If you want to boost your personal productivity with intention, check out my free resources, including videos, guidebooks, and worksheets.

I’ve been working on an approach for shifting out of overwhelm, which I’m currently calling Work Backwards from Overwhelm to Insight and Action.
