I'm reviewing my January To Do List and evaluating my success (or lack thereof). We won't call it failure (because I hate to fail.) What I didn't get done in January I'll carry over to February's List. I hope I won't have to do that too often and what I especially hope is that I don't have to carry over the same thing more than once.
January has been a busy month in other areas of my life. There were some non-genealogy deadlines which couldn't be postponed and some activities that took longer than I anticipated. Family history didn't play as large a part of my life in January as I hope it will in February and the rest of the year.
That being said, here's my review for January:
Done! -- Organize Ellis Bickerstaff's pension file into chronological order
Undone. -- Transcribe one document in the pension file.
Done! -- Write and post about his pension file. The CWPF posts were Civil War Pension File: First View; Civil War Pension File: Inventory; and Civil War Pension File: Chronological Overview of Papers Pertaining to Ellis.
Undone. -- Watch one RootsMagic webinar and put what I learn to use in RM with my own information.
Done! -- Write and publish two Tuesday's Tip posts. These posts were U.S. Census Information: Sites for Details and Once a Miner, Twice a Breaker Boy.
Done! -- At FamilySearch, look for new Ohio resources; search any that look helpful.
Done! -- At FamilySearch, look for new Pennsylvania collections.
I'll post my February To Do List in a day or two.

Oh well done! This is so beyond my abilities, but I'm full of admiration for your perseverance.
ReplyDeleteYou did get a lot done in January! Focus on the positive. :) What new resources did you find at FamilySearch? I'd love to hear!
ReplyDeleteYou did get a lot done in January! I admire you for setting goals and sticking with them. Sometimes I get frustrated or preoccupied with what I haven't accomplished rather than be happy with what I have accomplished. It's easy to do. Stephanie is right! Focus on the positive!
ReplyDeleteIt never occurred to me to look at family search to see what has been added for a specific area. I'll have to try that. January was a great month for you.
ReplyDeleteWow, you got a lot done!
ReplyDeleteThank you, all, for your encouraging comments. From where I sit, it doesn't feel like I accomplished very much. I suppose that's because I didn't do everything I hoped to do.
