The relaxation function is the cornerstone to perform calculations in weakly driven processes. Properties that such a function should obey are already established, but the difficulty in its calculation is still an issue to be overcome. In this work, I proposed a new method to determine such a function for thermally isolated systems, based on a Hamilton's equations approach. Observing that the microscopic relaxation function can be turned into a canonical variable, one can choose the initial conditions of the solutions of Hamilton's equations to avoid the calculation of the average in the initial canonical ensemble. The unbearable example of the quartic oscillator is solved to corroborate the method. Extensions to the quantum realm and stochastic thermodynamics are mandatory.
