Have you made any Genealogy Resolutions yet?
I haven't specifically, but I recently got caught up in an effort to identify any ancestors that would be Revolutionary War Patriots. It looks like that is becoming my resolution! Watch for more on that in the next issue of the Wake Genealogy Watch newsletter that will publish shortly.
If you haven't made your resolutions yet, you might like to try one or both of these ideas from Connie Knox. Each is inspired by her latest videos.
Resolution #1 - Adopt a comprehensive and consistent workflow that is informed by the Genealogy Proof Standard. (Don't panic, she has a template for that.) Her plan is covered in this video and she has even made it easy to know what you are looking for and remember where you found it.

Resolution #2 - Create an online storage system (with automatic backups) for your genealogy research logs, photos, documents, media, etc. that you can access from any of your devices - PC, laptop, tablet, and/or phone. Going online immediately makes you more efficient since you can research from wherever you happen to be when the mood or opportunity arises. Watch New Workflow for 2026 - Avoiding Disaster
Whether you decide to go all in on research notes or you dream of seamless access to your genealogy on all your devices, I hope you have great success with your New Years Resolution.
Happy New Year!
