When genealogy shifts from a passion to a profession, the joy of learning can sometimes fade. Jeanette Sheliga shares creative strategies for reigniting that spark—whether it’s changing your study environment, trying new learning formats, or organizing your materials so they inspire rather than overwhelm. Her practical tips remind us that professional development doesn’t have to feel like a chore—it can be energizing, rewarding, and even fun.
