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?

I love book written by experts in a subject. This book has a simple topic of walking up 1 hour early to get you that extra 4% in a day. The concept is simple and the author is no expert other than waking up early and stitching a nice story around it. Many in my household wake up at 4am and sleep early, and walking up early is not a fancy new thing. But what inspired me is the way the book is written and multiple areas covered. Loved every bit of it to find your inspiration on writing, doing something new or just finding your me time. Truly recommend this.
