You have made it through days you did not know how to carry. You do not need to solve everything today. Find one good thing and let it count.
Get a Little SunshineAbout MikeA small, kind place to practice being human
Get a little sunshine.
The world does not need more spectators to the noise. It needs ordinary people choosing one real, useful, human thing—and letting those choices add up.
A collective impact project from Mike Baker
One person. One choice. A better world together.
Choose one of five ways to stay human today. Do it in your real life. Then add your choice to the shared record so we can see what happens when small acts stop being isolated.
A good thought for right now
Today’s sunshine
The five ways
Pick the one you can actually do today.
These are not rules or rankings. They are five practices for making the internet—and the world beyond it—a little more human.
Your choice today
Give ten full seconds to something real.
Put the feed down. Notice a face, a voice, the weather, your own breath, or the person in front of you. Let reality become more vivid than the noise.
Look what humans did together
We put 0 good things into the world.
That includes 0 in the last seven days. No rankings. No best human. Just proof that small choices add up when a bunch of us make them.
Choose what fits
What could you use today?
A note from Mike
Hi, I’m Mike Baker.
I built Get a Little Sunshine because the world gives us plenty to worry about, and I wanted one small place that helps people feel a little less alone.
Meet Mike →This is the whole point
The good is more useful when it moves.
Notice something true here, carry it into your day, and let another person feel the difference. Come back when you need a reset or when you have another choice to add. The measure is not how perfect we are. It is whether we keep choosing.
Take a breath and begin again ↑A little more for the road
Sometimes you want to stay with the feeling a little longer.
Sometimes a short note is enough. This is here if you want something more.
A grounded way to notice what is still good without pretending the hard parts are not real.
