And once you've done that, note at which time of the day you're most productive and start building your genealogy routine around it to set yourself up for success. Keep the most important items close. When organizing your physical and digital workspaces, make sure you're positioning frequently used items (such as important atlases or a particular ancestor's file) close to you. This will help you cut through the clutter to find the items or files you really need during research. Turn your research into a gift. Need more motivation' Create birthday, wedding or anniversary gifts from your hard-earned research (such as photo albums or decorative family trees). In addition to giving yourself purpose and a concrete deadline, making a gift will also show your appreciation for family and friends and maybe even get them hooked on genealogy. Make specific goals. It's hard to get somewhere if you don't know where you're going. Before you dive into research, make a list of specific things you hope to accomplish and brainstorm some ways you can do so.
