Set aside one day to scan in pictures and documents.
I didn't actually set aside a day, but I was so excited when the FlipPal I won came in that I ended up scanning for hours.

Writing

Write 12 blog posts for each of my blogs. 
Didn't make this one. I came up short on both blogs.

Education

Take one of the free genealogy courses offered on Brigham Young University's website.
Done. I took Finding Ancestors.

Other

I also completed one of my 2011 genealogy goals that was not on the schedule for January. I participated in my first blog carnival, the 101st edition of the Carnival of Genealogy. This edition's topic was genealogy research/writing plans for 2011. Be sure to check it out. There were a lot of great posts.

You may have noticed that some of the posts here at Ancestrally Challenged include sources at the bottom of the post. I have begun doing this in order to make citing sources a habit.

To my dismay, I've not been able to find a way for either of my genealogy programs to list all events that occurred on a specific day. So I've begun the slow process of going through my family tree name by name to extract dates of birth, marriage and death for each individual. I plan to compile these into a calendar. Eventually, I hope to borrow a page from Tonia Kendrick at Tonia's Roots and begin my own "on this date" series.

I signed up for the indexing projects at FamilySearch and Low County Africana. I'm still waiting to hear back from the second project, but I have indexed over 1,100 names for FamilySearch since I joined on the 28th.
