Take 15 Minutes for Family History with The Family History Guide

http://thefhguide.com/

Quoting from a recent blog post from The Family History Guide:
One of the most common reasons people use for not getting involved in family history is, “I don’t have the time.” Yet if you ask busy people if they could spare 15 minutes a day—or every other day—for something very important, chances are they’d say yes. That’s where the “15 Minutes” approach can be helpful. We recently added a “15 Minutes” button on the Home page of The Family History Guide.
The button is shown above in the screenshot from The Family History Guide homepage. The post goes on to explain how this 15 Minute Button works:
  • The Quick Tour button shows a 6-minute video about the features of The Family History Guide.
  • The Get Started button takes you to the Get Started (Quick Start) page, where you can review family history or computer basics, or
  • The 15 Minutes button takes you to a newly revised “More Things to Do” page. This page is geared towards doing family history tasks and activities in short spurts, which may be ideal for young families and others who have busy schedules.
There are many tasks on the FamilySearch.org Family Tree that can be accomplished in 15 minutes a day. For example, it would take less than 15 minutes to upload a couple of photo to the Memories section and tag the people. It would also take much less than 15 minutes to add one or two Record Hints and check to make sure they apply. Instead of spending hours with social media, perhaps you could spend a few minutes helping your deceased ancestors.
