A good habit.....

Organize your pictures.

I take a lot of pictures.

I take less now then I once did!

BUT.....it's still plenty.

I almost never print pictures and 99% of my pictures come from my phone.

Years ago, someone passed away and I needed a picture. It was a NIGHTMARE to sort through the 4 million pictures I had so I decided to organize my pictures better.

I have a folder for each year with a folder per month inside.

I also have a Temp folder that has a folder in it with empty general sort folders.

When I start a new month, I copy the empty folders to the month folder.

I download pictures from my phone to the temp folder and then drag them over to the folder they belong in.

This makes finding things SUPER EASY.

It's only trouble if I forget to download pictures for 3 months and have a million photos to sort through. 

I also back up our computer to an external hard drive because life happens and I don't want to lose everything.

It's a bit obsessive, however, it makes searching for something SO MUCH SIMPLER! And that's a good thing.

Until next time.......
