Who’s up for a July 2025 30 x 30 challenge? I haven’t done one since January so it feels overdue. If you’re interested in committing to doing 30 minutes of genealogy research or genealogy organizing (or anything else, really) every day for 30 days, let everyone know in the comments. Sometimes the accountability of the commitment can jump start your research. I’ll have a check in post mid-month and a wrap-up post at the end of July.
As I’ve blogged about before, daily research is a great way to stay in touch with your research, keep your momentum going, and eliminate the “what should I work on today” paralysis that sometimes happens when we have large gaps between our research sessions.
I just looked back on the blog and saw that my first 30 x 30 challenge was in August 2015. That one I did alone and just blogged about the experience. After that, I opened it up to everyone. So we’re looking at ten years of these challenges! In that time, we’ve averaged three or four a year. I’ve always been gratified by the participation and the fact that it’s been so helpful for people.
If you’re up for the challenge, just comment here and, if you feel like it, let us know what you’re going to be working on.
Looking forward to it
I am in. I just got a new computer and downloaded my genealogy program (legacy). I am all set to go.
The thing I dead the most—-getting my genealogy organized!
I’m ready — will work on processing documents in my “to-do” file.
Thanks , Janine

Perfect timing! Thanks for this. I’m shifting to paperless as am overwhelmed with print-outs. Count me in.
