Well, it’s back to school time in Kansas which means less time for genealogy. Thus, my ‘paperless’ and ‘do-over’ projects have slowed tremendously. My hope is to have at least one evening to devote to genealogy. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen this week.
Since I was able to stop in Topeka for a few hours on my way home last week, I actually did some ‘original’ research. In the process, I utilized my new ‘research logs’. I even used a source that I hadn’t considered a ‘genealogy’ resource – the telephone book. My research log really paid off when I realized some of my images didn’t make it to Evernote. Thus, I had images on my phone without the citation information. Thanks to my ‘trusty’ research log, I was able to match the images up to the source. After this experience, I might add a ‘time’ column to my research log. Since the camera roll indicates the time the image was taken, this would help match an image to the research log. I also need to be more observant of the transfer status while sending the images to Evernote.
Since I’m back at school (work), I thought I would try out the suggested project management spreadsheet. Currently, I’m just tracking time but may have to re-visit the spreadsheet shared by Thomas MacEntee. We will see what next week brings.
