March has been a terrible month for me in terms of prioritizing doing family history research. And that makes it a bad blogging month for me because, of course, my research feeds this blog.
I know that the 30 x 30 challenge (in which I challenge myself and my readers to do 30 minutes of genealogy research or organizing every day for 30 days) is hugely helpful for me in prioritizing research.
So on April 1, I’ll start a new challenge. You can be thinking about whether you’d like to join me. It’s going to be a little challenging for me because I’ll be going to an organizing conference in early April and an out-of-town wedding in mid-April. But getting my research groove back will be really important if I want to maximize the benefits of attending the National Genealogical Society conference May 8 to 11. And if I can do it this April, I can pretty much do it any month.
You don’t have to commit now but keep an eye out for a post on March 29 announcing the challenge!

Can I count cleaning out my gzillion bookmarks. think there are some from before I retired in 2004. My genealogy ones are, I am thinking, too generic to be found easily any more. Any suggestions are welcome.

You can count anything in this challenge!
As far as suggestions go, I don’t use booksmarks any longer. I tend to use Evernote web clipper instead, typically to clip something specific. I don’t know how helpful that is. But I’m quite confident that cleaning out your bookmarks can only help!
