Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your Daily Goodwill
for Saturday, February 7th. It's Saturday morning.
The week is done. You might be looking at a sink
full of dishes, or a pile of laundry that's been
staging a quiet rebellion all week. Or maybe
you're thinking about all the productive things
you could do today. All the catching up. All
the getting ahead. And then there's this other
voice, saying you should just rest. Just be a
person who exists without a mission. Here's today's
advice. Saturday doesn't need to be an either
-or situation. You don't have to choose between
being completely productive or completely checked
out. Think of it like this. Pick one small thing
that'll make Monday morning easier. Not a project.
Not a deep clean. Just one thing. Maybe it's
prepping your coffee setup so you're not fumbling
around half asleep. Maybe it's laying out your
clothes or clearing off your desk. Something
that takes 10 minutes but removes one decision
from future you's plate. Then spend the rest
of your day however you want. No guilt. No scoreboard.
You're not being lazy. You're being strategic
about your energy. Because rest isn't the opposite
of productivity. It's what makes productivity
possible in the first place. And your good will
move for today. Text someone you haven't checked
in with lately. Not a long conversation, just
a simple hey. A how's it going? A thinking of
you. Sometimes the smallest connections are the
ones that land exactly when someone needs them.
And you never know, they might be sitting there
wondering if anyone's thinking about them today.
That's your daily goodwill for Saturday, February
7th. You don't have to optimize every hour to
have a good day. Sometimes the best thing you
can do is one useful thing and then just let
yourself be. Talk soon.
