Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Tuesday, January 6th, 2026. By now, the New
Year glow can start fading a bit, and the brain
goes back to its favorite hobby, overthinking.
So today's advice is about getting unstuck fast.
Here it is. When you feel overwhelmed, shrink
the problem. Most overwhelm isn't caused by too
much work. It's caused by too many decisions
at once. So pick the next step so small it's
almost silly. Instead of, I need to get my life
together, try, I'm going to open the document.
I'm going to write one sentence. I'm going to
wash five dishes. I'm going to walk to the mailbox.
I'm going to set a timer for 10 minutes and start.
Small steps create motion. Motion creates clarity.
Clarity creates confidence. And here's a little
trick that helps immediately. If you're stuck,
change your environment for 60 seconds. Stand
up. Move to a different room. Step outside. Splash
water on your face. Look at the sky. Your brain
loves a reset cue. It's like hitting refresh
without losing the tab. Your goodwill move for
today. Be patient with someone who's moving slowly.
You don't know what they're carrying. And honestly,
some days, you're the slow one too. That's your
daily goodwill for Tuesday, January 6th, 2026.
Make it small. Make it simple. Keep going. Talk
soon.
