2026 Week #16 - Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 04/13/25 - Sunday 04/19/26)
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.

Do Your Best and Get Your rest.
Things are can be harder than what we first think. That's OK, You can do it. It's normal. Do your best. Be kind to yourself and Be kind to others.
It appears to me 7 cups have sold out to the Corporations to make money.
They say it's to pay for the site.
I believe that is a half a truth, Which is often a great lie.
An easy way out.
I would think that there are non charitable and charitable organizations that could donate to maintain a truly beneficial site.
It is a counterproductive situation because all these social advertisements and manipulations, even the diagrams the charts, the advertisements themselves are extremely stressful and discouraging.
It seems to me 7 cups is throwing gasoline on the bonfire of overwhelmness, confusion and depression.... for a profit.
I could be wrong and some smooth talkers can probably make it sound a OK, but that does not change the fact that these advertisements causes stress and anxiety.

Hello Mr Glen,
It saddens me to see that 7 cups is allowing this kind of imagery on its site. I can only imagine the negative effect it has on overweight people, sexual victims and in general, it's an unpleasant image for a Website that is trying to lift people up.
Advertisers are clever with their labeling, As I saw this one sexy image of a woman with her mouth open ready to receive hot lava down her open, Seductive mouth, As she lay on her back. They labeled this as an IQ test.
Obviously, ADHD is a issue for many members on this site and all the flashing ads and all distractions totally destroys the comfort and safety for many many members including myself.
the only reason I am reaching out to you is because I have been a benefactor of 7 cups since 2021. And in a very thankful manner, I also have been a consistent contributor, trying to encourage people to achieve their goals and I've maintained a consistent and resposible thread for about two or three years now.
I am Saddened by the possibility that I may not be able to contribute to an organization that has gone to the dark side of greed, To take advantage of the disillusioned and fragile minds of the mentally challenged.
I do realize, And apologize for the harsh judgment, from that which I may have little understanding. But there must be a better way to raise money for this site than destroy it And manipulate Its loyal base.
There are so many trigger warnings that these advertisements trespass against, that it's impossible for me to understand why it is allowed.
I can't even post a flashing gif, But I guess if you have enough money to pay, You could put up all the flashing gif's or ads that you want.
Do you think this is acceptable, For the benifit of the members?
(That can't even focus on a confusing thought, looking for help, to be bomarded with more massive confusion?)
@IGlenM
P.S. Dear Glen, I approached you because over the years of reading many of your posts and updates, you have always impressed me with your sincerety and genuine care for the welfare of this community. I've always felt, you are an wonderful leader with a genuine heart for the members.
Can we campaign to get this issue addressed. And if you care to share, what is your opinion of the situation?
@GlenM
I messed up your username on the last post. oops. 😔
My work goal for the week is to finish gathering the data so I can do the background reports.
I guess my goal for other aspects is not to let everything overwhelm me which is difficult because I'm responsible for everything so naturally everything is on my shoulders.
An update for those interested. Yesterday, I discovered a filter on one of my reports that I didn't put in. When I removed it, a whole lot of names showed up. I thought I was almost done but I'm not. This is what happened to me in January where I got yelled at after I went to the eye specialist. Again, the only filter I put in was to sort it by state because we have two applications that we use and it was easier to do one state all at one and then the other one instead of going back and forth. I then checked the other report (and all are due Tuesday plus I have another one that I haven't even started) and the filter was there too. Removed it and I have twice as many names to go through now. Almost completely forgot to clock in because I was trying to get things sorted out. Looks like I may have to come in on a weekend which I'm not supposed to do but they'll get mad if these aren't all done.
Submitted a withdrawal through my retirement account. Way less than what I could get before but I get paid next week too so with both amounts, I'll be able to get ahead. I can't do the application where I can split the rent up anymore because my credit has tanked. I get the reasons why. They figure I'm too much of a risk right now and I would pay everyone back if I could but I can't at the moment.
Still having the problems with fatigue and all the other annoyances. Work being the big one. Looks like I'll get kicked out of the university because of lack of participation but with things that keep cropping up, I just don't have the time, money, etc. to do everything. Like now. I should have gone to the restroom and gotten a drink twenty minutes ago but I took the time to do this and I have no idea how many names I'm going to have to get. That is a manual process. First I have to check if we have a folder on them. Then I have to check if the information is current. Then I have to gather the information for a new report if one hasn't been done in the past year and then I have to enter that information into two web applications. Print the forms when they come back or wait for them to come back and then print them. Save them to a folder then copy and acknowledge that it's safe to copy each file to other folders... I will not be going to lunch today. Not supposed to miss meals for health reasons but this work has to be done and I have to do it because I'm the lowest rung on the ladder so I can't push it off to someone else.
--I think the only aspect of my life that is going relatively well is the dog and I still have to get her a friend.
@Enthenia
Everything is so hard. I understand exactly what you mean about the university stuff. Regardless of how important it is, sometimes we just can't find the time because of one reason Or another. But I mean legitimate reasons. If like the day comes we get behind and then the day goes.
I have a bad rat problem underneath my trailer and it's imperative that I get rid of them rats, it's not good. But between all my breakdowns, my inability to pay my bills and looking for jobs, and justice lack of energy and being depressed, I can't seem to get to it. It is so discouraging.
I'm really sorry your hard times continue, and I'm saddened about university. But keep a stiff upper lip and keep doing the best that you can. Keep on the doors of opportunity open.
@IsayUncleI had a response here but I hadn't officially signed in. Just so you know, it is possible to type a response, but when you go to post it, it tells you to either create an account or sign in but when you sign in, it takes you to the main page which wipes up what you had put in the text box if you didn't have the sense to copy it first. Which I didn't do in this case.
Another addition to a typical day for me. Didn't get to go to the store. Was going to go this morning but fell asleep while I was trying to finish a survey this morning. Was attempting to get my account up to $20. I didn't even eat anything. Just had a handful of nuts which are supposed to be a better snack for me. And I got the laundry done late because the one near me was locked so I went to the other laundry room but that room was offline. I went back to the one near my apartment and it was finally unlocked. So that pushed everything back. I don't like going to the store later in the day because there's more people about. I can go tomorrow but I had planned to go into the office to get those names done. I've got only two days to work a miracle. My fault for assuming that the reports are good when I receive them I suppose.
And that's the rub. It seems that no matter what I do or attempt, it's either not enough or wrong.
@Enthenia..... Sorry to hear it. Hope things go better today.
@IsayUncle well I got literally nothing acomplished that I had wanted to yesterday. Was waiting for funds to transfer over which took too long. Then on one of the accounts I had to verify my identity so I didn't get to the store and I didn't get to the office because someone wanted to play. And, I wasn't even supposed to be at the office yesterday. I was going to go to the store later but I didn't. Someone panicked the last time I left when I don't usually leave and I was trying to get extra money so I could get more.
It just means I have that much more work to do today and we have a mandatory departmental meeting today too. I'm currently going through some reports and moving people over to folders even though I'm technically not here yet. And, it's a good thing I didn't get to the store yesterday because I won't be able to have a lunch today even if I had food. Not really supposed to skip meals but the work has to be done and I'm the only one that will do it.
I somehow survived with having two cheese sticks and a keto waffle. I have three reports that I have to get done in a day and a half. One of my regular ones I forgot to even start. And most of the names are new and we have no history on them.
I was able to go to the store this afternoon. I made certain to go even though the bus was late. I couldn't get a lot. Only had a little over $30 but I was able to get some apple snacks, yogurt, frozen fruit for the dog (meant to get cherries for her but got cranberries. She can have those too but she prefers cherries) and some meat. Coffee was on clearance. The carb content is a little higher than what I have been getting but it was over a dollar cheaper.
I shouldn't have gone so long without eating today. My chest was really hurting when I got home and I didn't drink enough today. I wanted to get as many names in the files as possible. I won't be able to take a lunch again tomorrow but at least I have enough to get me through the day. Guess I should have gone in yesterday but with as many names as I still have to do, if I had gone into the office yesterday, I would have been stuck there all day which wouldn't have been fair to the dog.
