I have some similar goals - organisation, focus and to increase my commenting on other blogs. I often don't know what to say but I guess the more I do it the better I'll get.<br />Kylie :-)Kylie Willisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665781772166367709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726802159327032874.post-64899523712013097212011-01-04T13:08:51.965+11:002011-01-04T13:08:51.965+11:00Hi Shelley,

As someone who has only come to genealogy recently I have struggled with focusing on what I am doing, be that a particulary person or family, and have been too easliy carried away on some tangent or other.<br /><br />I will write this up as my no.1 goal, and maybe no.2 should be starting a blog - to write no.1 goal on to keep me focused...<br /><br />Happy 2011!<br />TanyaTanya Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653894545470484594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726802159327032874.post-48866038518694983672011-01-02T09:10:53.189+11:002011-01-02T09:10:53.189+11:00Shelley,

If I have more time I try to correct the whole column. Same goes for articles I find on Trove.<br />Every little bit helps.<br /><br />I, for one, have benefitted greatly from your giving in 2010 and look forward to taking from you in 2011.<br /><br />Genealogy is our hobby - don't let it become a burden.<br /><br />Cheers, GeniausGeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726802159327032874.post-11218814629186777602011-01-02T00:18:06.890+11:002011-01-02T00:18:06.890+11:00Right Shelly,

Suits me fine and as you stated, do what feels right for you.<br /><br />No.12 - Its a two way street no doubt and i certaintly make my stuff available to folks.<br /><br />Memberships - i'm currently memberless. Going to join Parramatta as my next one.<br /><br />No.5 is staying focused - something i've made sure i've done. For me focusing is not letting my tree get out of hand by just adding heaps and heaps of people. <br /><br />Good luck with your genealogy in 2011.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
