Organize Your Family History

Stay focused and happy while exploring your roots

Time for a September 30 x 30 challenge (finally!)

September 1, 2023 By Janine Adams 7 Comments

As I’ve mentioned here, I’ve been easing up on my genealogy research, mostly to make time in my schedule for YNAB budget coaching practice. But reader Jerry Hereford asked this week if I was going to do another 30 x 30 challenge and I remembered that I hadn’t done one! Usually I do one when I personally need it. But this time, I’m doing it for you.

Please comment below if you’d like to commit to 30 minutes of genealogy research every day for 30 days. You can change that goal if you’d like. Since I’m doing less research in general, I’m going to change my goal to doing something (anything) in service to my genealogy research each day, now matter how much (or little) it takes. We’ll do mid-month and end-of-month check-ins. Daily research can be so beneficial and the accountability of a 30 x 30 challenge can keep it top of mind.

So please let everyone know in the comments if you’re in!

P.S. If you missed Wednesday’s post, I’m doing a giveaway of Drew Smith’s new book, Generation by Generation: A Modern Approach to the Basics of Genealogy. It’s not too late to enter by commenting on that post!

    I have had a really messy year this year with a lot of changes in my life, so I am definitely in with this to get myself back on track with my Family History research.

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.
