I did a lot of work the other day. I found some newspaper articles about my grandfather that I hadn't read before hiding in a box that I had saved out just for that purpose. If I were an organized person I would have all of my ancestry info in one place that could be easily accessed and work on it at a certain time during the week. Wouldn't that make so much more sense than the randomness of how I have been doing it?
Logically, I know that this would make research so much easier. However, I have these organizational road blocks that don't allow me to keep everything in one location. I have things in a storage box in the garage, I have one in the storage unit, I have a box with my scrapbook things, I have information at my grandmother's, and another box of information at my mom's! Far too many places to have information.
I have read all over the internet how to organize my files, what to do and how to do it. The problem, they don't work for me. When you don't like to organize and you don't want to take the time to go through everything these plans just plain don't work.
