💤 12 Low-Effort Good Deeds for the Barely Motivated

  1. Hold the Door an Extra 3 Seconds 🚪
    You don’t need to make eye contact. Just pause. That’s it. Let the person behind you feel like the universe is marginally less cruel.

  2. Leave a Cart in the Cart Corral 🛒
    Not all heroes wear capes. Some just don’t abandon shopping carts in the parking lot wind tunnel.

  3. Say "Good Morning" to the Delivery Person 📦
    They’re not ghosts. A simple greeting = 1.5 kindness points, no actual effort required.

  4. Like a Friend’s Post You Didn’t Even Read 👍
    Their baby/pet/sunset probably deserves it. And hey, engagement boosts!

  5. Refill the Toilet Paper Roll 🧻
    You’re already in the bathroom. Might as well not doom the next person to the Wipe of Despair.

  6. Let Someone Merge in Traffic Without a Fight 🚗
    Just...pause. Don’t pretend you didn’t see their blinker. Karma owes you a latte now.

  7. Compliment Someone’s Shirt, Hair, or Vibe 🧡
    You don’t need to write a sonnet. A casual “Nice shirt” can ripple into someone’s whole day.

  8. Bring the Trash Bins In (Even Just Yours) ♻️
    Technically movement, but not cardio. You’ll be done in 37 seconds. Might even get a neighbor nod.

  9. Text “Thinking of You” to a Human You Like 💬
    No deep convo needed. Just poke the friendship. Keep it warm.

  10. Don’t Reply All Unless Absolutely Necessary 📧
    The noblest of passive good deeds. You’re saving inboxes, one restrained click at a time.

  11. Wipe the Microwave After Your Explosive Leftovers 🍲💥
    Future you (and coworkers or housemates) will whisper your name in gratitude.

  12. Return the Pen You "Borrowed" Weeks Ago ✍️
    No need for a speech. Just sneak it back like a courteous pen bandit.

Want to do even less? You can still:

  • Smile vaguely at someone in passing 😐🙂

  • Nod instead of speaking 👤➡️👤

  • Not eat the last cookie without asking 🍪❓

Kindness doesn’t have to be grand. It just has to be real. Even when you're at 12% battery (literally and metaphorically).
