The Holiday Matrix
Matt Reynolds introduces the “Holiday Matrix,” a practical strategy to prioritize what matters, reduce stress, and reclaim meaningful holiday moments, inspired by his upcoming book Undoing Urgency.
The holidays can be as overwhelming as they are festive, but Matt Reynolds has a strategy to help: the “Holiday Matrix,” a concept he shared recently on My St. Louis Live on First Alert 4.
Drawing inspiration from President Eisenhower, Reynolds explains how this approach can help us prioritize what truly matters, reducing holiday stress and reclaiming time for family, friends, and meaningful traditions. By categorizing tasks—like eliminating non-essential distractions, delegating urgent but less important chores, and focusing on quality moments with loved ones—the Holiday Matrix helps us enjoy the season instead of feeling overwhelmed by it.
Reynolds also gives a sneak peek into his upcoming book, Undoing Urgency, where he shares practical tips on how to reduce life’s “urgent” noise and savor what matters most.
