What a strange concept.
After so many years of looking back to research I couldn't think about anything to write about regarding the future.
I began pondering who would be looking for me when researching their family tree in the future. I googled my name, and was shocked at how many newspaper articles with photos existed for me. Below is one of them.

I also discovered many that are not me. The name, details, and photos might appear to be me. They are not. If only I could leave messages attached to the ones that are not me for future researchers. This is how errors in trees can occur.
What are my plans for the future?
I work hard on staying in the moment. If I look too far forward I get overwhelmed.
Maybe I will read this book!

I do have some short-term goals as they relate to my genealogy researching.
I want (really need) to vary my research space.

| The inside is cluttered |
I have been working with a computer desk with doors for the past few years. I keep altering the layout in the desk, but messy chaos persists.
From the outside it's not so bad, but the inside is too disorganized to find anything. I have books stored in the upper door shelves which is beginning to effect the doors ability to stay closed.
I will need to look at what parts are working & what parts are not. Only then will I be able to make a space that I truly want to work in.
My plans for the future
