Well it's the end of the year, time for goal reviewing and setting.
My professional goals:
1. Attend 20 sessions of #genchat
I attended 22
2. Do 2 webinars or videos for genealogy education
I can't remember that I did any so need to do better at this
3. Go to 2 genealogy conferences
Done
4. Blog twice a month or 24 times a year, and blog about 12 ancestors this year
I think this makes blog #25, and I did blog about 12 ancestors, done
My volunteer goals:
1. Finish cemetery directory by Memorial day
Done on the Tuesday before Memorial day
2. Finish photographing one cemetery and add photos to another on Findagrave
Done taking the photos in one, and made progress on the other
3. Start indexing marriage licenses and put online
Done with surnames A, and they are online
4. Update my US GenWeb site
I did some of this, so made progress
My personal goals:
1. Finish husband's Mayflower application
Made progress, sent an email asking how I'm doing, and ready to order another record
2. Go to Family History Center to research
No, didn't do this one, so maybe next year
3. Continue working on research
Yes, did some so progress made
4. Continue regular backups
Did some so progress made, not sure about the "regular" part
5. Do timelines for all my ancestors
I did 2 in the year, so progress made, and I probably bit off more than I could chew in saying "all" my ancestors, I probably should've limited it to 12
So overall not too bad, especially considering I have 2 young children (one school age and a toddler), a husband, and a part time job. So I have to keep the house running too, maybe when I'm retirement age and my kids are adults I will be able to take on more.
With my goal setting, I feel it helps to separate them like this, put them in an Excel file where I can regularly look it up and keep track. Stay tuned in the next few days when I hope to blog about my 2015 goals. Happy New Year's Eve!
