May was brutal for me in terms of being able to do genealogy research. I had so many family obligations (among my living family members) that I couldn’t pay any attention to my deceased family members! But I really want to get some family history exploration done this month, so I’m having a 30 x 30 challenge. In addition to reacquainting myself with my family tree, I hope to be sifting through the boxes I sent myself last month from my father’s and aunt’s homes after they moved. In June, I plan to focus on the documents, putting the photos aside for later.
How about you? Would you like to join me for a 30 x 30 challenge? I am committing to spending an average of 30 minutes a day for the next 30 days on genealogy research and organizing. I want to at least something each day (even if it’s not a full 30 minutes) because I find daily effort so valuable in getting back into the swing of things. I’ll be keeping a spreadsheet and I’ll be really happy if I log 900 minutes (15 hours) over the course of the month. Actually, I’ll be happy if I do something every day, even if it doesn’t add up to 15 hours.
If you’d like in on the challenge, just say so in the comments. Mid-month, I’ll post an update post on my progress and invite you to share yours.
I’ll join in. I’ve made a good start with digitising my family tree, but need to keep the momentum going.
Glad to help you keep the momentum going, David!
I’m in!
Excellent, Rebecca!
I’ll jump in, too, Janine! I need to do some family history writing, and this may be just the inspiration that will get me going. (I can’t begin until June 6, but will extend on the other end). Thank you!
I hope you were able to begin, Laurie, and that it’s going well!
I’m in. I’ve just finished a course in Microsoft Word formatting and using Styles. I’m in the process of Re working Volume 2 of my family history-and finding I need a tiny bit more writing and one surname I “ forgot” to research. Small bites will make what feels overwhelming do- able.
I hope the 30 x 30 challenge is helping you, Margaret! Small bites can be so beneficial.
