The 4% Fix
The 4% Fix: How One Hour Can Change Your Life | Karma Brown
5 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
How to find guilt-free time for what you really want to do, and why it matters Do you feel like youre always busy, even as your to-do list continues to grow? Do you think you cant 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 doesnt 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 houronly 4% of your dayto change your life?

There‘s not a lot here. Brown does a nice job of bringing in a lot of studies but I don‘t consider myself well-versed on the topic and I had heard of most of them. And I think she should have spent more time on the how and what, not the why (though I have this beef with most books of this kind - I picked the book up, I‘m already sold on the concept…)

It did make me want to pick up some of her fiction, though!

Started an audio book for my commute home, hoping to get some inspiration 🤞🏻

I loved the authors voice and humour. She was funny and welcoming. I didn‘t need this book. I‘m already really good at managing my time, but I would recommend it to anyone that feels as thought they don‘t have enough time to do that thing that they want to do or someone that doesn‘t feel they have anytime for themselves. Her book will ease you into accomplishing your goal, whatever it may be. She will help you get to a happier existence.
