Photo Organization – Day 1

Over the last few months, we’ve spent time working on photo organization.

We’re going to do the same this month. And next month. And the next.

Until it becomes a Habit.

If you need to officially add it to your Rainbow calendar, then, go for it! But I’ll also remind you because digital photos are such a huge area of clutter right now

Our first task each month will be the same.

  1. Connect your phone and camera to your computer and dump ALL of your photos into your photo software program. Then delete every photo on your phone and camera.
  2. Then…. get to deleting. 

As a reminder, here’s the least painful way to start deleting photos:

  1. Delete duplicate photos.
  2. Compare photos from the same event and delete the ones that don’t convey something special about the event.
  3. Step back and look at the photos from an outsider’s perspective. Are there any photos that would be Boring with a capital B to look at?
  4. Keep deleting photos until you have only 2 or 3 of the most captivating photos that tell the story of the event. Of course, there may be a few events that you want to keep a few more (i.e. a wedding) but those are the exception rather than the norm. 

I know deleting photos is difficult.

Your assignment for today:

  • Continue working on Habit #4.
  • Organize your photos.
  • Keep working on your Rainbow calendar.
