I’ve been researching my family history off and on for about 40 years. So far I haven’t found a good way to organize my research. How do you organize? #Genealogy

there's some great resources because it doesn't come easily to me either... there's https://organizeyourfamilyhistory.com/ and I also recommend Organise your Genealogy by Drew Smith
I've followed many genealogical organizers, especially the younger ones, as I hope to encourage a relative in continuing this work. Drew Smith's book is good too. There's lots of overlap in what you should be doing. Just slightly different ways of looking at/explaining the process.
I'm with you, Cindy. Been researching for years, taking classes, and following several organizers for inspiration. My biggest source help was following dearmyrtle -- she finds new people doing good work and spotlights them. https://dearmyrtle.com/
I originally used Family Tree maker when it first came out, then switched to Roots Magic, which I’ve used for about the last 20 years. I now do my research on WikiTree, where I know all my research, along with everyone else’s, will remain Wiki tree has far more collaboration than anyone else.
