  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.
