The end of the year was rather different from years past. I slipped on ice at school and sprained my ankle on my birthday. I have spent the past few weeks on my couch, which has given my a lot of time to think and plan for 2011. I am not a fan of resolutions, but I did want to come up with some goals. 2011 is looking to be a great year: I will get my Master's degree, find a job outside of retail, turn 30... Here is a list of my personal and genealogy-related goals for the coming year.
Personal:
- Become a better blogger, posting at least 3 times a week and commenting more on other blogs.
- Train for and run a half-marathon
- Read at least 2 new books a month
- Plan more game nights/dinner parties/etc. to see friends more often
- Become more active with my church Social Justice Committee and History Committee
- Send birthday and anniversary cards to friends and family
Genealogy
- Write one ancestor profile a month for the blog
- Create written research plans, at least one per month. Post on my blog, along with follow-ups as to how the research goes
- Complete at least the first two CDs of the NGS home study course
- Attend at least one national genealogical conference
Love the new blog, Amanda! We have some similar goals for 2011. I look forward to reading about your progress. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteNice-looking blog! I'd prefer being taught about genealogy by you instead of Genealogy for Dummies, so bring on the lessons! Seriously, I have bought the book.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I’m not the biggest fan of that book, I much prefer Unpuzzling Your Past by Emily Anne Croom. Hopefully my blog is helpful to you:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Tania!
