How can I budget effectively with medical debt and long work hours?

Tbh, this year's got some big goals for me. I'm a single mom with kids who are 21 & 16. No child support o r help from the state, so it's all on me. Already on day 6 of 10-hour shifts this week ‍ Got like 7k in medical debt and collections. Juggling fam time and work is tough, but i usually do 5 ten-hour weeks. Here's the budget notebook I use – nothing fancy, had it for 2 years.
 
I know it can be tough, but you've got this!

I'm 68 and I've been working 7 days a week, over 60 hours, for the last four years. Even though it's just e, I still find it a challenge to get all my personal tasks done.
