Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Wednesday, February 11th. It's the middle
of the week. You've probably been going for a
while now. And here's what happens around Wednesday.
Your brain starts doing this thing where it pretends
everything is urgent. Like your to -do list suddenly
has opinions about your life choices. That email
from last week? Now it's wearing a dramatic costume
and demanding attention. The thing is, most of
what feels urgent right now isn't actually urgent.
It's just loud. Here's today's advice. When everything
feels like it needs to happen right now, ask
yourself one simple question. What actually moves
forward today? Not what would be nice to finish.
Not what's been sitting there making you feel
guilty. What genuinely needs your attention in
the next few hours? Usually, it's one thing.
Maybe two. The rest is just noise pretending
to be priority. So pick that one thing. Give
it your focus. Let the rest wait without apologizing
to it. Your brain will try to convince you that
you're forgetting something critical. You're
not. You're just refusing to let Wednesday bully
you into fake urgency. And your goodwill move
for today. Send a quick message to someone who's
probably in the weeds right now too. Just something
simple. Hope your week's going okay, thinking
of you. No need for a whole conversation, just
a little signal that says, I see you out there
doing your thing. Because chances are, they're
also drowning in their own version of Wednesday
noise. And that kind of message, it cuts through.
That's your Daily Goodwill for Wednesday, February
11th. Most of what feels urgent is just loud.
You know what actually matters today. Talk soon.
