About Stephen Chrysler

Hey there—I’m Stephen.

I’m a Program Manager based in New York, where I lead inclusion-focused projects for a leading North American distributor of MRO and OEM products and services—working with cross-functional teams and clients to make sure everything runs smoothly and with purpose.

Over the years, I’ve guided client relationships across industries and worked closely with executives to bring structure to complex, high-stakes projects. My background is in program strategy, systems thinking, and leadership development—with a heavy dose of, "How do we actually make this work in real life?"

But let’s be real: for a long time, I was just trying to keep up.

I was “successful” on paper, sure. But behind the scenes? My calendar ran my life. I was reactive. Stretched. Constantly trying to optimize everything, while quietly wondering: Is this really how it’s supposed to feel?

That question led me to build what eventually became WorkLife Curated.

Builder of better systems. Rethinker of routines. Still figuring it out, just like you.

Why I Started Worklife Curated

I didn’t create this space because I have it all figured out. I created it because I don’t—and I know I’m not the only one.

This is where I share the systems, strategies, and small wins that have helped me take more ownership over my time, career, and mindset.

I write about things like:

  • Creating weekly rhythms that actually work

  • Resetting your goals when you feel stuck

  • Communicating with more clarity (and less chaos)

  • Managing work without letting it manage you

I’m not here to sell hustle culture. I’m not a life coach. I’m just someone who’s been in the trenches and wanted a space to think out loud, share what’s helped, and invite others to do the same.

What You’ll Find Here

This isn’t a productivity cult or a personal diary. It’s a space for thoughtful, intentional systems that help real people live and work with more clarity.

You’ll find:
✔️ Insights – Practical posts on mindset, planning, communication
✔️ Tools – Templates, systems, and things that actually help
✔️ Guides – Step-by-step resources built for real life

Whether you’re a fellow professional, a student, a manager, or just someone trying to figure it out—I hope this space gives you something useful.

5 Things I’m Into Right Now

  1. Weekly planning rituals that make Monday less scary

  2. Building systems that work even when life doesn’t

  3. Inclusion work that actually makes a difference

  4. Simple tools that help me think better

  5. Learning to slow down—on purpose

Let’s Build Something Better

WorkLife Curated. isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being intentional. It’s about experimenting, adjusting, and finding systems that help you move forward without losing yourself in the process.

Thanks for being here.
