The 4% Fix

How to find guilt-free time for what you really want to do, and why it
matters

Do you feel like you’re always busy, even as your
to-do list continues to grow?Do you think you can’t keep up as it is, let alone add another thing to
your plate?

An
award-winning journalist, avid reader and new mom, Karma Brown dreamed of
writing her first novel. But between diapers and tight deadlines, how could she?
Like so many of us, she felt stretched taut and hyper-scheduled, her time a
commodity over which she had lost control. For Brown, the answer to this
problem was to rise earlier every day and use that time to write. Although she
experienced missteps along the way, after committing to her alarm clock and an
online community of early risers, she completed a debut novel that became a
national bestseller.

In The 4% Fix, Karma Brown reveals the latest research about time management
and goal-setting and shares strategies that have worked for her as well as for others.
Refreshingly, her jargon-free approach doesn’t include time-tracking
spreadsheets, tips on how to squeeze in yoga exercises while cooking dinner, or
methods that add bulk to those never-ending lists.

How
will you use this one hour—only 4% of your day—to change your life?
