One change I'm making to my research is using Mind Mapping to organize what I know about each family surname. As described on the iMindMap website, mind mapping combines the functions of the right and left sides of the brain and provides a visual that combines the two types of brain processes. Mind mapping is extremely powerful. I used mind mapping to organize the massive amount of literature I accumulated when writing my literature review for my dissertation. It is also a process I teach my students for writing their papers.
Actually not on the road, but the rail. My daughter and I are planning a trip to Salt Lake City to the Family History Library in a few months. As we both hate to fly, we're taking the train. It's about a 20 hour train ride, but we'll be able to use the time on the train to plan our strategies to make the most of the five days we'll be spending in the library. This time I feel I'll be better prepared than last year. Last year I was busy writing my dissertation for the four months before I went to Salt Lake City with Ancestor Seekers, and I felt I wasn't really as prepared as I would have liked. Even though I wasn't as prepared as I would have liked, I made substantial progress.
