Bleeding Tired: Reflections on "A Story Every Day" So Far (May Edition)
The Nuts & Bolts As of the last day in May: we were 152 days in to the yearlong Story Every Day challenge, which started on 1st January. Nearly half way there! Success! I've posted a short story every day this year so far. My word count for May: 14,413. This included all my micros, sans the authors note, my look back at April, a poem, and a couple of challenge entries (one official, and one unofficial). Stats: My monthly peak at my stats shows that my read count has dropped more, it's now two thirds what it was a few months back. I haven't had much time to share on social media. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It does seem to make a bit of a difference. The quality of content/ideas might have dropped, or people might be officially sick of me. (I mean. come on, every day!) It doesn't affect my plan to post daily (even if not a single soul sets eyes on it). I'll just keep an eye on quality. Reads: Speaking of reads, I now have over 10k! My most-read , most-liked story in May was story #148, The Write Equipment, which was an alle-gory for writing (ha, didja see what I did there?) I recently re-worked it for the 3am challenge. Top Stories: Three yet again this month! There's NO WAY this is a coincidence. Here they are: #148 The Write Equipment, Just a Minute challenge entry Dying Later, and #139, Forced Compliance Not Necessary.

'Myanmar officers constraining detainees to drink pee' . Content Warning.
'Myanmar officers constraining detainees to drink pee' Something like 50 individuals were killed in a Myanmar armed force strike on a town in Rakhine state last week, nearby occupants and resistance powers said. The town was in dread for more than two days during the activity of the nation's military. Witnesses let the BBC know that many individuals were blindfolded and beaten, hot petroleum was poured on them, and compelled to pee.

Fueling Success and Well-being in Organizations
Goal setting has long been heralded as a foundational strategy for achieving organizational success. The roots of its significance can be traced back to early research, which aimed to understand how intended achievements (goals) relate to actual performance in an organizational setting (Locke & Latham, 1990). This exploration has revealed profound insights into the numerous benefits of goal setting, spanning from increased motivation to enhanced self-efficacy.
