Is there a strategy for selling small amounts of shares when you need cash?

Amateur here, so please bear with me. Got some money tied up in tech stocks - Amazon, Apple, Nvidia, Rivian. I'm out of work and need to start selling to generate a bit of cash. I'm not liquidating the whole account, just essentially planning on making small withdrawals over time. Is there an optimized way of doing this? Do I sell shares from the top performers? Sell from the stocks I'm underwater on? Sell a few shares of each different stock? Or is there no real method? Thanks in advance.
