2025 Week #43 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 10/20/25 - Sunday 10/26/25)
I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today.
But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.
To praise each other for our efforts and wins.
While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.
And to continue trying and not give up.
Remember:
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!
Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.

For the last two days, Saturday and Sunday, I've been recovering from an overwhelming set of circumstances that I actually overcame and conquered. I did nothing but lay around watch TV and eat for the past two days.
The past month I've been fighting overwhelming (productive) situations beyond my control and I conquered them. To do it, my personal agenda had to be non existent.
This week I have to regain my core balance and balance my personal agenda with my work responsibilities. The Last two days of doing nothing made me realize that I have to go back to my list and be disciplined and follow the timelines... I must follow my proven, written list to climb back into reality.
I just wrote an above sentence that made me realize that there can be different ways of being overwhelmed.
Just a short thought to be commented on if you want to. There's a difference from being overwhelmed by destructive situations and being overwhelmed by productive situations. As most of us know, getting overwhelmed, in general, can shut this down if we don't push through it.
I just thought it was a good observation that we can be overwhelmed while being productive too. I think for me, looking at it like this, will help me push through some of the hard times.
Pretty much the same as last week Get my remaining assignments done. Exactly the way the professor wants with no deviations from the template yet somehow make sense of it all with subheading but not stray from APA 7. Get work done. Keep the dog active. Have to schedule an appointment for her. She's due for shots. Meant to do it Saturday but it didn't happen.
I've probably forgotten to mention something else as well. Right now I guess I should get on the VPN so I can get that customer data I need for my final report...
Which, incidentally has over twenty names and I have to copy/paste reformat multiple pieces of data and switch my computer from high contrast to normal to get the profile information on each customer because if I don't, I'm being throughtless and inconsiderate. Nevermind that the normal mode hurts my eyes if I use it for too long...
Still have eighteen names to actually look up then gather and sort information. Then do a dissertation if they don't need to be filed on or a report if they do need to be filed on. Did absolutely nothing for my class and I got a reminder about the end of the course which I am fully aware of.
I guess I'll be donating my free time for the rest of the week...
@Enthenia
Hey, you got'em under 20 names.... that's progress.
@IsayUncle I guess but it doesn't seem like much when I see how much I still have to do. And today my head is hurting. Particularly over my right eye but I have work to do. Even if it is for free now. No one else is going to do it.
I struggle with "At Home" discipline!
"At Home" discipline..... So critical for balanced progress.
But "I deserve" to rest, drink, over-eat and oversleep, because i'm human and I'm tired, and i deserve all these indulgences for working hard.
How can I stop thinking the, "I DESERVE" trigger? I know i deserve some breaks and relaxation but it should be in a decisive manner instead of, a lack of discipline decision or act of weakness.
I'm developing a new understanding almost to the point of an epiphany, for me. I believe other people already understand this and probably have understood it for years but I'm just realizing something.
I lack discipline in most aspects of my life.
I've always tried to do the right thing, I've always tried to go in the right direction, but mostly I've been weak with responsible decisions.
I've lived on the backbone diligence and perseverance. Making the gross mistake of thinking these were acts of discipline. in a very gray area they could be considered forms of discipline.
I think sometimes we are forced into acts of diligence and perseverance because we lack discipline. Things get backed up and behind, and we are forced to push through it, to persevere, for some form of success.
I have more perseverance, due diligence and stubborness than an average person but I still can't seem to succeed.
I grossly lack discipline on a minute to minute regularity. I daydream, I get distracted, I do what feels good or easy instead of neccessary. BUT I always forge forward past the failures They would not be failures if i disciplined myself to completion in numerous situations.
And to make things even more fun today, my computer had a major crash. Did a BIOS memory scan. It all started when Chrome wasn't responding like it should and I tried forcing it to close through the Task manager but it wouldn't so I forced a shut down. It did not like that. Now I have to bring everything up again. and copy and paste every single paragraph into Xcel because that was the one document it didn't auto-recover.
I also have to sign into everything again...
I'm down to eight names to actually pull the data for. Twelve that I have on spreadsheets but need to sort and determine whether or not the activity is suspicious. Then I'll need to write a report regardless of whether it is suspicious or not.
But, I'm going back to my lab. Maybe I can at least get that finished today. I'm going to need to copy the instructions for the paper again since I lost it when the computer went down. Of course my supervisors are more intent on doing a community project. I get that's important but to me it should have been done in an alloted place at an alloted time, not running back in forth in the office to get things. They're making baskets for a local school and that's fine but it all should have been planned, not arbritrarily done.
But it's the end of the world if I don't get all my stuff done perfectly every single time.
@Enthenia
But it's the end of the world if I don't get all my stuff done perfectly every single time. That's exactly right. Good for you! 😀
I'm sorry to hear about your misstep ENDING UP WITH A SORE LEG. ☹️
@IsayUncle It's okay. It doesn't hurt as bad now as earlier.
Got absolutely nothing accomplished on the school front today. I'm down to sixteen spreadsheets that I need to format and review data on then write the reports for yea or nay on their activity. I'm just now eating my protein bar and I leave in about six minutes.
I will have to break away for half an hour tomorrow because Thursday is when I walk down to the pet store and get the cat food and a chew stick for the dog.
My six minutes are down to two so I guess I'd better get ready to leave...
@Enthenia OMG, I'm so sorry!
OMG.... 
😱😩😢😫😢😩
@IsayUncle it's okay. I guess it's a good thing I have to do things numerous times because I had the dissertations saved so all I had to do was put them back on the spreadsheets.
This morning was fun. Left the apartment late and hurried to the bus stop. Fortunately that bus was late so I didn't have to walk a mile to the next stop. Then I misstepped getting off the bus. A rock shifted under my foot. Caught myself before I turned my ankle but the sudden movement affected my leg. Been having a bit of pain in it off and on so this incident didn't help. Coincidentally (?) it's the same one I banged up when I fell a couple of weeks ago. Got in early but checked the grocery ads. I have not done anything on my remaining names yet. Not that I'm procrastinating but my leg hurts, I'm now cold, and my chest hurts a bit but that's probably from eating the wrong food. I had one of those waffles. I checked the carb content 37g. Waay too much for me. I'm going to have to stay with the egg bites or the eggwiches (they use cooked eggs instead of bread for a breakfast sandwich). Cost more and less in the box but smaller carb count.
@IsayUncle I just realized that your initial post advises getting rest. Not entirely sure what that is. Had a bit of drama this morning as I was trying to leave. Fortunately I was able to leave somewhat on time even with the dog sneaking her toy out with her this morning. The cat took her time coming in and the dog was panicking. She doesn't like being in her crate when I'm gone and the cat isn't inside with her. Fortunately, the cat came back inside when I was getting ready to lock up.
I also learned that the dog is feeling better (picked up something she shouldn't have a few days ago I think) because she kept trying to pull things down from the countertop where I put the cat's food. She succeeded last night. It's a good thing I had an extra can for the cat this morning but I'll really need get to the pet store today to get the cat more food,
I don't know how many names I have left to sort the data on. I need to get back to it. Hopefully I can finish my lab and work on the paper some time today. Got a headache again but that could be lack of sleep, stress, not eating a lot (ran out of stuff and my delivery isn't until tomorrow). Could be anxiety too...
@Enthenia
Yea, you are always on the run, putting out fires a lot of the time, or just keeping things in order.
about the only time you get some rest is when you fall asleep unexpectedly.
My post is just a reminder, it's OK to rest.... When we have to and/or when we can... Get rest when you can. It's important. I'm Glad the dog is feeling better and the kitty made it back for companionship. 😀
@IsayUncle I know it's all right but the problem is finding the time to do it.
Like trying to find time to work on my class assignments. Microsoft was acting up today. Should not take a minute to switch tabs in a spreadsheet. And then the Internet was being slow. I really think it's the network connection or the cables or something. I don't know. I am attempting to take tech classes but I have no clue the layout or technical assets of my present organization. I don't know how many I got spreadsheets out of the way but I still have a few to do.
Absolutely have to do something on the school front tomorrow. I'm running out of time.
I did manage to break away and get cat food today. So that's something. Not sure what it attributes to though.
I think I'm done for the day...
Came in early to try and get things finished. Had to connect my computer to the docking station twice and then had to wait for the login screen to show up. Then I had to fix the resolution because it was screwed up and had to load all my file folders again because the file manager wasn't showing them. Then I started doing the spreadsheets and that was slow. And then the Internet Browser wouldn't work. Lost all my open tabs and tried closing it and opening it again but it got stuck on processing something. Couldn't even finish what I was typing on here. Eventually had to do a restart but found that all the spreadsheets I had worked on didn't auto recover so now I have to figure out which ones I have to do again.
And they are all due today...
Have to get them all done plus the labs. I guess it's a good thing that I didn't really have anything to bring with me for lunch because I won't be eating today. Really shouldnt skip eating but the people I work with only care about the tasks getting done, not conveniences like food.
I'm going to have to come in on Sunday....
I don't want to but the work has to get done and I can't tomorrow because the dog has to get her shots. I won't get paid for it and could get into trouble but if I don't get this done, I'll get into trouble that way.
Right now I just want to get to where I can go to the restroom. Hopefully before I have to leave....
It's Friday Morning,
It's been a whirlwind of a week.
It's 6:00am and by 11:00am, I must have a list of townie chores in order, with required paperwork and shopping lists.
6am sort kitchen - morning tasks -
@IsayUncle *-* you can do it!!!
@BlueDarkAurora

@IsayUncle yay you did it!!
Hi! I had poor sleep the past few days and I have a tiny bit to finish on a painting and that's one goal, but might as well attach my 60 sit ups to it. I loke my accountability partner for exercise. But I can add it here. I just put a "k" when I've done it. And how cool I can snap a pic of my painting. How cool is that.
