Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Friday, February 13th, 2026. It's Friday
the 13th, a day that somehow convinced itself
it's spooky. But honestly, the only thing scary
about today is how much your brain wants to tie
every small mishap to the date. Spilled coffee,
traffic light turning red, email that could have
waited until Monday but didn't. And suddenly,
you're like, oh, right, it's Friday the 13th,
of course. Your mind loves a good story, even
when the story is just coincidence wearing a
dramatic costume. Here's today's advice. Let
today be the day you close loops instead of opening
new ones. Friday energy wants you to start three
things and finish none of them. It whispers,
just one more task, just one more email. Just
one more thing to set up for Monday. But that's
how you end the week feeling like you ran a marathon
and still missed the finish line. So pick one
thing that's been hanging around your list. Something
that's almost done but not quite. A response
you've been meaning to send. A small task you
keep moving to tomorrow. A drawer that's been
half -organized for two weeks. Finish it. Not
perfectly, just done. Because closed loops give
your brain a little hit of relief. And relief
is underrated on Fridays. You don't need to clear
the whole board. Just close one thing that's
been quietly draining your battery. And your
goodwill move for today. Text someone you haven't
talked to in a while. And tell them one specific
thing you appreciate about them. Not a general,
hey, thinking of you. Something real. Like, I
still remember that advice you gave me about
interviews. Or, you always know how to make group
hangs feel easy. It takes two minutes, and it
turns a regular Friday into the kind of day someone
remembers. That's your daily goodwill for Friday,
February 13th, 2026. The week doesn't need a
perfect ending, just an intentional one. Talk
soon.
