Good morning, good morning, and Happy Monday! 🌟

The holidays are here, and let’s be real: it’s both the most wonderful and the most chaotic time of the year. You’re likely trying to soak up quality time with family, enjoy the festivities, and maybe even sneak in a few naps—but you’re also thinking about the big goals you’ve set for 2025. Sound familiar?

I know how tricky this time of year can be. That’s why I want to share something I do every holiday season to stay on track without burning out. It’s a simple framework I call "Me Time, Matt Time, Magic Time."

If you’re ready to enjoy the holidays while still setting yourself up for an incredible 2025, stick with me. Let’s dive in.

1. Me Time: Protect Your Peace 🧘‍♂️

This is the foundation, my friends. If you’re running on empty, how can you show up for anyone else? Me Time is all about recharging your battery. For me, that might look like walking on the beach, curling up with a book, or spending a quiet morning on the patio, wrapped in a blanket.

This isn’t about luxury—it’s about necessity. Your nervous system needs a breather. Maybe your Me Time is a walk in the park, journaling, or even hitting the gym. It doesn’t have to be fancy; it just has to be intentional.

This holiday week, I want you to ask yourself: What’s my Me Time? Then carve it out and fiercely protect it.

2. Matt Time: Be Fully Present with Others 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Here’s the deal: Relationships are everything. Whether it’s family, friends, clients, or your team, Matt Time is about showing up for the people who matter most. For me, this means spending Thanksgiving with my parents, brother, and extended family. No distractions, no checking emails—just being present.

This isn’t just about holiday dinners, either. It’s about those one-on-one moments where you connect with people, make them feel seen, and build deeper relationships.

Who do you need to spend some Matt Time with this week? Schedule it. Show up for them. Trust me, it’s worth it.

3. Magic Time: Build Your Future ✨

Ah, Magic Time—this is where the magic happens (pun intended). Magic Time is the time you dedicate to your goals, dreams, and ambitions. It’s about moving the needle. For me, that means planning content, connecting with my community, or strategizing for 2025.

I know the holidays are busy, but even 30 minutes of focused Magic Time each day can create massive momentum. The trick? Be clear on what you want to accomplish during that time. Prioritize the needle-movers, not the busywork.

Think about it: What’s one thing you can do this week that will set you up for success in 2025? That’s your Magic Time.

It’s All About Balance

Look, balance doesn’t just happen—it’s intentional. Some days, you’ll need more Me Time. Other days, you’ll lean into Magic Time. The key is to track what you’re doing, adjust as you go, and stay committed to what matters most.

So, what’s your game plan for the holidays? Are you carving out time to recharge, connect, and build your future? I’d love to hear how you’re balancing it all—drop a comment below and let me know.

Let’s make this separation season count. The steps you take now will set the tone for your 2025. Let’s make it the best year yet.

Much love,

Greg Todd
