Not only do we have a boatload of clutter-causing envelopes, but he can never find what he's looking for. I keep trying to push the ol' "put your sources in your software" thing, but it mostly falls on deaf ears. One day, I'm going to hide all the envelopes and see what happens! <br /><br />Kudos on your organizing job! :-)Elizabeth O'Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191827688514996520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799118134852549463.post-29595015277076260642011-10-04T21:38:17.431-05:002011-10-04T21:38:17.431-05:00Perfectionist tendencies seem to abound in our gro...Perfectionist tendencies seem to abound in our group! I have to tell myself that doing SOMETHING is better than worrying about being PERFECT and not getting anything done.

I tend toward perfectionism also, but I've learned that if I shoot for "better," instead of "perfect," then I don't get paralyzed.Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688040686852110671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799118134852549463.post-24421512475037048152011-10-02T17:49:50.880-05:002011-10-02T17:49:50.880-05:00Fran, I totally understand the need for perfection...Fran, I totally understand the need for perfection.

I want to remind you that '...Fran, great start. I want to remind you that 'perfection' is in the eye of the beholder. That means that you have every right to re-define perfection to suit your needs. I used to struggle with "Be perfect as you heavenly father is perfect" because I thought that perfection meant no mistakes, no flaws, no falling short of the ideal. (And I keep falling short!) What I have since learned is that what was translated as 'perfect' might better be translated as 'whole' or 'wholesome.' I think a system that leads to and assists a wholesome approach to genealogy is a wonderful thing. A system of 'perfection' is at best a distress-er and at worst a terrorist. Your "hope for a better genealogy life" sounds rather wholesome to me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854939812003260963noreply@blogger.com
