Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Wednesday, February 18th. It's the middle
of the week. And if you're feeling like your
brain is running on dial -up internet while everyone
else is on fiber optic, you're not alone. Wednesday
has this thing where it pretends to be halfway
through, but really it's just the middle of being
in the middle. Your energy is doing that thing
where it's not quite tired, but definitely not
fresh. Like a phone at 47 % battery. Technically
fine, but you're starting to watch it. Here's
today's advice. When your mental clarity starts
to blur, don't try to power through with sheer
force. That's like trying to clean foggy glasses
by squinting harder. Instead, create what I call
a clarity pocket. Pick one thing that actually
matters today. Not the thing that's loudest or
most urgent. The thing that if you did it, you'd
feel like today counted. Maybe it's finishing
that email you've been rewording in your head
for two days. Maybe it's having an actual conversation
instead of just sending updates. Maybe it's finally
making that decision you've been researching
to death. Here's what you do. Give yourself a
clean 20 minutes. No tabs open you're not using.
No phone within arm's reach. No background noise
that's secretly demanding your attention. Just
you and that one thing. You're not trying to
do everything. You're trying to do one thing
with your whole brain instead of 12 things with
12 % of your brain. And your goodwill move for
today. Notice when someone else is stuck in the
fog. The person who's been quiet in meetings.
The co -worker who keeps saying they're fine,
but their emails are getting shorter. The friend
who's taking longer to text back. Send them something
simple. Hey, you seem like you're juggling a
lot, or just thinking of you today. You're not
trying to fix anything. You're just letting them
know they're not invisible in the middle of their
week. That's your daily goodwill for Wednesday,
February 18th. Clarity isn't about seeing everything
at once. It's about seeing one thing clearly
enough to move. Talk soon.
