Chris Evergream here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Saturday, January 24th. Saturday has this
interesting energy to it. You wake up and there's
no alarm telling you where to be. The day just
sits there, waiting. And sometimes that open
space feels great, like freedom. But other times
it feels a little... too open, like you should
be doing something productive. Or maybe you're
already behind on the weekend plans you made
in your head on Thursday. Your brain starts negotiating
with itself about what counts as rest and what
counts as wasting time. Here's today's advice.
You don't have to earn your Saturday. Rest isn't
something you qualify for after checking enough
boxes. It's not a reward system. It's basic maintenance.
Think of it like charging your phone. You don't
wait until it hits zero and starts begging for
power. You just plug it in when it needs it.
Same goes for you. Now, if you want to spend
today doing something, great, go for it. But
pick one thing, one simple mission that feels
right to you. Maybe it's organizing that one
drawer that's been chaos for months. Maybe it's
a walk with no destination. Maybe it's finally
trying that recipe you saved four times. The
key is giving yourself permission to let that
one thing be enough. You're not building Rome
today. You're just being a person on a Saturday.
And if your one thing turns into lying on the
couch, watching three episodes of something while
eating snacks directly from the bag, that also
counts. Because sometimes, your body and brain
are just asking for downtime. And ignoring that
request doesn't make you more productive. It
just makes you tired in a different way. And
your goodwill move for today. Text someone you
care about and ask them one simple question.
How's your Saturday going? That's it. No agenda.
No fixing. Just checking in. It takes 10 seconds
and it reminds someone that they're on your mind.
even on a random Saturday in January, when nothing
special is happening. Sometimes the smallest
gestures land the biggest. That's your daily
goodwill for Saturday, January 24th. Rest isn't
lazy, it's strategic, and you're allowed to enjoy
your day without a performance review at the
end of it. Talk soon.
