00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.459
Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill

00:00:03.459 --> 00:00:06.980
for Saturday, December 20th. Quick check -in.

00:00:07.059 --> 00:00:10.419
If you're feeling behind right now, I want you

00:00:10.419 --> 00:00:14.220
to hear this clearly. Being behind in December

00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:17.920
is basically a seasonal tradition. So today's

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.699
advice is simple and it works fast. Pick one

00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:25.460
tiny thing you've been avoiding and do the first

00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:29.089
two minutes of it, not the whole task. Just the

00:00:29.089 --> 00:00:32.649
first two minutes. Because most of the stress

00:00:32.649 --> 00:00:36.469
isn't the work, it's the dread. It's your brain

00:00:36.469 --> 00:00:39.429
staring at the task like it's a mountain, when

00:00:39.429 --> 00:00:42.189
really it's a pile of pebbles wearing a trench

00:00:42.189 --> 00:00:46.109
coat. Here are some easy first two minutes starters.

00:00:46.649 --> 00:00:49.929
Open the email you keep dodging and write the

00:00:49.929 --> 00:00:53.369
first sentence. Put the trash bag by the door.

00:00:53.950 --> 00:00:57.710
Start the dishwasher. Lay out tomorrow's clothes.

00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:02.539
Or set a 10 -minute timer and tidy one single

00:01:02.539 --> 00:01:05.939
surface. Just one. And when you finish those

00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:10.140
two minutes, you get to decide. Stop or keep

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:14.120
going. Either way, you win because you broke

00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.060
the spell. One more thing for today. If you can,

00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.739
give yourself a little future you gift tonight.

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.299
Something small. A filled water bottle in the

00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:29.000
fridge. A clean mug ready for coffee. A note

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.939
that says, I've got you. That's Daily Goodwill

00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:36.239
for Saturday, December 20th. Be kind to yourself.

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.060
You're doing better than your inner critic is

00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:41.019
willing to admit. Talk soon.
