The Research Like a Pro Genealogy Podcast


Dec 30, 2019

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about setting up an organizational system that you trust to hold your projects and give you reminders about what needs to be done on any certain day. What good is a filing system or calendar that is never used? Have you tried a new tool but given up when it didn’t meet your needs? This is the time to revisit how you’re organizing your genealogy and make some decisions that will help you feel more productive. We discuss physical filing systems, digital filing systems, genealogy software, reference material, emails, organizing projects, calendars, project lists, and next action lists. We also discuss Evernote, Trello, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Tasks.
