Gather and Tether Your Data

Round up all your boxes, notebooks, CD's, scraps of paper, file folders, etc.--anything that pertains to your genealogy, get it all together in one area.  Then, and only then, will you be able to organize (or more appropriately, perhaps, re-organize) your "stuff" [as President Obama would say].  Surely we can confine our research to a few shelves, a couple of filing cabinets, or several drawers.  IN THE SAME AREA.  If we have to run from room to room, from downstairs to upstairs, or whatever, we are wasting precious time that could be better spent finding our ancestors.
