As there will be no actual pages inside the box, the introduction will need to be where the blurb would be.
So it needs to cover two jobs (Blurb: Short Summary of Creative Work | Introduction: gives readers an idea of what the rest of the writing will say and provides a reason for readers to keep reading).
Below are some ways I may achieve this..
To Emphasise Routine:
07:00-07:30: Alarm. 07:30-08:00 Feed Kids. 08:00-08:30 Drive Kids to School. 08:30-09:00 Get to Work. 09:00-15:00 Work. 15:00-15:30 Pick Kids Up. 15:30-17:00 Loud Noise and Mess. 17:00-1800 Cook Dinner. 18:00-18:30 Tidy Up Dinner. 18:30-19:00 Try to Get Kids in Bed. 19:00-19:30 Tidy Up Kids’ Mess. 19:30-20:30 Worry about Bills. 20:00-21:30 Hour of ‘You’ Time. 21:30-22:00 Ready for Bed, Set Alarm. (repeated around 3 times)
[Issues with this one is that not everyone’s routines the same and plus, it’s pretty harsh on the eyes.]
A More Traditional Approach:
Congratulations on your purchase of this book!
If you are 30 to 40 years of age (or generally stuck in a rut) and have fallen victim to routine; your days have become unpredictable and dull, then this book may be able help you get the most out of your life!
I don’t want to give false impressions, this book isn’t going to demand you do something outrageous to change your life- you have obligations and responsibilities. Instead, I aim to help you cope. Accept what you have and begin to appreciate it. Focus on what you have, not what you don’t. When you take the time to stop and do this, you will begin to break free from the everyday schedule.
[This one isn’t comical enough to mock the subject. Also gives too much of the contents away.]
