Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Friday, January 30th. It's the last Friday
of January. You made it through a whole month.
That's something. Even if this week felt like
it lasted three years. Even if your inbox is
still giving you the silent treatment while secretly
plotting revenge. There's this thing that happens
at the end of weeks. We start tallying up what
didn't get done. Like our brain suddenly becomes
an accountant with trust issues. But here's what's
true. You showed up. Maybe not perfectly. Maybe
not the way you planned. But you were here. Here's
today's advice. Let yourself close the week without
fixing everything first. Not every loose end
needs to be tied up by 5 o 'clock. Not every
conversation needs resolution today. Some things
are allowed to wait until Monday, and that's
not failure. That's just how time works. Try
this. Before you leave work or finish your day,
write down three things you actually completed
this week. Not the big impressive stuff you wish
you did. The real stuff. You sent that email.
You had that difficult conversation. You remembered
to eat lunch twice. These count. Then pick one
thing that's been nagging at you. The thing that
keeps showing up on your mental to -do list wearing
a dramatic costume. Write it down. Tell it you'll
deal with it Monday. Not because you're avoiding
it. Because you're choosing when to give it your
energy. There's power in that. And your goodwill
move for today. Send a quick message to someone
who made your week easier. Could be a co -worker
who covered something. A friend who listened.
The person at the coffee shop who remembered
your order. Just something simple. Thanks for
that. Or, I appreciated you this week. That's
it. Because small acknowledgements have a way
of landing bigger than we think. That's your
daily goodwill for Friday, January 30th. You
don't have to finish strong. You just have to
finish. Talk soon.
