30 x 30 June 2024 challenge: mid-month check-in

June 16, 2024 By Janine Adams 2 Comments

For those of you participating in this month’s 30 x 30 challenge, how’s it going? Were you able to put in 30 minutes a day toward your goal? If not, did you end up doing more than you would have done had you not been doing the challenge?

You’ll recall that my commitment wasn’t for daily genealogy research this month, rather it was to work on getting ready for my move every day. The move is now five days away (gulp), on June 21, and you can bet that I’ve been working on it every day for way more than 30 minutes. I have professional organizers (my team members) coming in to help me pack this week and unpack starting Saturday. So the days in the coming week will be full but they’ll also be very productive.

I’m hopeful that you’ve had a productive month as well! Please let us know in the comments how your challenge is going.

    I’m making headway in transferring my past Guffy research logs from Excel to Airtable. It’s taking longer than I anticipated as I’m revisiting many documents to add FANs to my Guffy surname Airtable base. At midpoint I’ve averaged a little more than 2.5 hours per day. Without this challenge I would not have worked on this project. Thank you, Janine.
    Best wishes on a successful move!

about me

I'm Janine Adams, a professional organizer and a genealogy enthusiast. I love doing family history research, but I find it's very easy for me to get overwhelmed and not know where to turn next. So I'm working hard to stay organized and feel in control as I grow my family tree.

In this blog, I share my discoveries and explorations, along with my organizing challenges (and solutions). I hope by sharing what I learn along the way I'll be able to help you stay focused and have fun while you do your research, too.
