Circular reference help

Hello, this should be an easy question for a Friday.

I am trying to add weekly time spent on a task cell value to an actual time by task cell. The circular reference occurs because, obviously I am referencing the actual time by task cell and wanting the weekly time to automatically add to the total already in the actual time by task cell.

Column - Time spent by task

Cell value - 8

Column - Actual time spent by task

cell value - running total of weekly cell value for the life of the project

Is this possible or is the result always going to be a circular reference?

Sorry for the noob question. Thank you for the help in advance.
