Description
Ryan Matt Reynolds is a successful strength coach, business owner, and business mentor. This book is the road map he wished he had many years ago when he felt like he was drowning in urgency. Reynolds’s personal journey as a professional athlete, business owner, husband, father, and mentor lends credence to his practices as he shares his foundational principles.
- Deprioritize to-do lists
- Undo excuses that derail progress
- Embrace voluntary hardship
- Create focused, efficient work that moves the needle
Reynolds’s systematic approach guides readers in laying the foundation for change from the first chapter. No fluff. All substance.
Undoing Urgency also details the GAME Plan (Goals, Actions, Metrics, and Execution), which turns core values into high-priority goals and minimum effective dose actions for maximum impact. The GAME Plan works for all goals, having been used at the highest levels in business, health, life, and the most personal ambitions. It takes readers on a journey of personal discovery to identify what brings them value and joy. Ultimately, Reynolds wants to help people break free of urgency and start living a value-driven life dedicated to what is most important to them.
Advance Praise
“Undoing Urgency is a battle-tested guide to overcoming the feeling of overwhelm and stuckness that’s become all-too-common in our fast-paced world. Matt provides a road map with concrete, action-oriented advice that will tame the chaos in your life so that you don’t just survive, but thrive. As a longtime coaching client of Matt, I've seen him apply these principles firsthand in his business and life, and I have used many of the tools he writes about to reach my personal and professional goals.”
Brett McKay
Founder, Art of Manliness
"The artificial urgency being placed on our backs by technology, unrealistic expectations, and an always on/never off world are leading humans to a breaking point. Undoing Urgency brilliantly provides a practical road map to live life on your terms and is a must read for anyone that desires more contentment and joy in their life."
Adam Witty
Founder & CEO, Advantage Media; Author, The Authority Advantage
"Sometimes, you need a gentle-yet-firm reminder on how to focus on what's important, and you need it to come from someone a few steps ahead of you. Undoing Urgency is that reminder for me. Matt's immediate, raw honesty and openness help to create a book that isn't just another set of tips but a relatable and motivating read that provides both direction and a needed kick in the pants."
Thomas Frank
Productivity Expert & Founder, Flylighter and CollegeInfoGeek.com
"I've known Matt for over ten years, and in that time I've watched him move from an authority in the in-person coaching space, to a successful online strength coach, to a CEO of an eight-figure business with hundreds of staff and thousands of clients. What hasn't changed is his clear strategy of 'simple, hard, and effective' that worked wonders for me when he was strength coaching me during an incredibly busy time in my own life. I've watched him use the concepts in this book to grow his business and quality of life; but more importantly, he taught me how to apply these concepts to my life so that my quality of life improved in my business, my family, and my health. Pulling weeds on the urgent things so that you can focus on the most important things is one of the greatest lessons we can learn. Matt does a great job of communicating that process in Undoing Urgency."

“Matt has written a master class in short-term versus long-term thinking that could become the modern playbook for entrepreneurs, busy fathers, and even marketing executives. The principles he outlines in Undoing Urgency feel familiar but entirely fresh as he weaves a tapestry of gripping personal experience with highly relatable scenarios that kept me page-turning. I was ultimately left in total reflection―primarily with the man staring back at me in the mirror.”
Ryan Alford
Host, Right About Now―The #1 Business & Marketing show on Apple Podcasts
“Matt transformed me as my strength coach; his insights carried over into his book on mastering time. Initially, I paused, daunted by the task of reorganizing my life. Yet, inspired, I soon drafted a strategic plan, categorizing and pruning away the non-essential, thus freeing my time from unnoticed tyrants.”

"Undoing Urgency is a testament to Reynolds's grasp of life's most precious resource―time. Everyone looking to increase their time for the things and the people they value should read this book."
Cooper Mitchell
Founder, Garage Gym Reviews
“The best business books offer much more than strategy and tactics―they teach a new way to think. With boldness and courage, Matt Reynolds helps us undo the urgency running our lives, freeing up our time and attention to do the heavy lifting that generates results.”
Will Spencer
Host, The Will Spencer podcast (formerly Renaissance of Men)
“In a sea of improvement-based books that all seem to try to one-up each other in their self-importance, Undoing Urgency is a humble breath of fresh air―not because Reynolds is self-deprecating or trying to find some moral justification for laziness, but because it rightly addresses the egotistical root of our omnipresent urgency. I felt called to some heavy course corrections―as a business owner, father, and man after reading this book, and I believe every man (and his domains) will benefit greatly from its content.”
Tanner Guzy
Founder, Masculine Style; Author, The Appearance of Power
"Undoing Urgency is a must-read for anyone looking to make immediate, impactful changes in their life, health, and business. Its straightforward, no-fluff approach, combined with practical examples, makes it an invaluable guide for real-world application.”
Chris Reynolds
CEO, Surton, Inc.
"Matt is one of those guys who unintentionally makes everyone around him feel lazy and unproductive. I’ve never understood how he can pack what seems like a year’s worth of work into a single week. Finally, with Undoing Urgency, Matt pulls back the curtain and reveals the exact strategies, systems, and secrets behind his extraordinary efficiency.”
