It’s the end of July and the end of another 30 x 30 challenge. I hope it was a productive month for everyone! It sounded like things were going really well for the folks who checked in mid-month.
I didn’t participate in the challenge this month…genealogy has been moved to the back burner for now. But I did have a very productive month in my personal life and with my organizing business!
I’d love to hear how your July went: Were you able to put in 30 minutes a day on your genealogy work? Or perhaps the equivalent? Please let us know in the comments!
A month where I did too much genealogy. I easily met the 30 x 30 criteria. My August goal is to re-establish some balance.
I guess you’ve proved that there really such a thing as too much genealogy, David. I hope you’ve been able to find some balance.
I was able to finish up that DAR supplemental project then reorganize my files for these ancestors, both digitally and paper. Great month, thanks for hosting!
That’s fantastic, Zenda!!
Overall I met the challenge. Some of the time I spent doing genealogy file management on my new computer and I worked on reorganizing my hard copy files. Since I had the census records of my ancestors on my computer with two different backups, I tossed the hard copies of the census. Hope to reduce the number of genealogy hard copies in the future. For the past two weeks, I spent scanning in pictures of my wife’s family.
Sounds like you had a great month, Jerry! I’ve found that it takes a little fortitude to get rid of the hard copies, but it’s so nice to reduce the amount of paper!
I got the equivalent of the first thirteen days of the month done. While I didn’t get to the finish line of the challenge, I will say that I got more done in July with the challenge than if I hadn’t done it.
I’m always happy to hear the challenge helped someone get more done!
