In my earlier days, I did not correctly record the sources and now I am also going back and updating them.

The only thing that has saved me from falling back into bad habits is work and some volunteering work that has been rather time busy since returning.

I think resolutions like that should have an exclusion clause for Trove. <br />I wouldn't say your resolution was broken, just bent a little. :-)Shelley Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008715347583341427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-16935976946827694422014-02-18T20:03:20.182+11:002014-02-18T20:03:20.182+11:00It's a treasure Trove, one should allow onesel...It's a treasure Trove, one should allow oneself to enjoy its jewels! :))crgalvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01118766224187668713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-20016167809980834692014-02-18T19:52:12.456+11:002014-02-18T19:52:12.456+11:00Jill - I find that there is so much to research - ...Jill - I find that there is so much to research - and so much information available - I have nearly 2000 references to check in the Illawarra Mercury on Trove for my Hicks and Callcott ancestors. I've participated in #genchat and was inspired by it to be more organised and set up SMART goals - specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely. It needs focus but also flexibility like when I discovered Callcott's at Unlock the Past at Parramatta last week - I had parked that part of the family for quite a while too. And then Scotland has a big year for 2014 of Welcoming the Diaspora Home. I participated in the Reflections by the Diaspora project - so again it meant putting emphasis on my Isle of Skye McKenzie ancestors research which I had parked.<br />So it is a balance really - focus and flexibilityKerrie Anne Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03958234545898242828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-71527780184695673062014-02-18T18:42:15.063+11:002014-02-18T18:42:15.063+11:00+Jill Ball you aren't not alone in becoming di...+Jill Ball you aren't not alone in becoming distracted from your task. As more information becomes available online I find I really need to use a research log and stick with a task. <br />The thrill of finding something new is so much more tempting than the satisfaction of having a well sourced database. <br />Ultimately it is up to date us whether we want to leave a legacy or a starting point for are family. We can collect all the information we want but it is only going to be truly useful if we analyse it and extract all those clues contained within the documents. <br />I am reorganising the media in my project then I will use Evidentia to go through the evidence and include the analysis in my project. A long job, but I will only be satisfied when I have a record which will meet the genealogical proof standard.Hilary Gadsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493542134835202291noreply@blogger.com
