Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Friday, February 6th. It's Friday afternoon,
and you're staring at your inbox like it's a
puzzle you're not sure you want to solve. You've
got half -finished projects sitting there, the
kind that aren't urgent, but also aren't quite
done. They just exist in this weird limbo taking
up mental real estate. And there's this small
voice saying you should tie them all up before
the weekend. Like if you don't, they'll follow
you home and sit on your couch judging you. But
here's the thing. Not everything needs a bow
on it today. Here's today's advice. Sometimes
closing the week well means knowing what to close
and what to leave open without guilt. Look at
what's actually in front of you. Pick one or
two things that would genuinely feel good to
finish. Not the things that seem important because
they're loud. The ones that would actually give
you a clean mental exit. Maybe it's sending that
email you've been drafting in your head for three
days. Maybe it's organizing one folder so Monday
morning doesn't start with you hunting for files
like you're on a scavenger hunt. Do those. Let
the rest sit. The stuff that's half done isn't
chasing you. It's just waiting. And it'll still
be there Monday. That's not failure. That's just
how work works. You don't have to empty the whole
tank to have a good Friday. And here's your goodwill
move for today. Before you close your laptop
or leave your workspace, write down one thing
you're proud you handled this week. Not the biggest
thing. Not the most impressive thing. Just something
you're genuinely glad you did. Put it somewhere
you'll see it Monday morning. A sticky note.
A phone reminder. Whatever works. Let that be
the thing that carries forward, not the unfinished
stuff, the thing you actually did. That's your
Daily Goodwill for Friday, February 6th. The
week doesn't need a perfect ending. It just needs
your permission to be done. Talk soon.
