The Deluge of Digital Images - make it stop!
First, stand in front of a mirror… Yes, YOU are the key! You probably don’t want to hear this but you have to edit, edit, edit! Here are 4 simple steps to help you start to tackle this monster!
Step 1:
Let’s take your phone for instance, how often do you simply go through it and delete the ‘utility’ pics? You know the kind I mean, the ones where you take a pic of something to show someone else. Those have a lifespan of minutes most of the time. Delete!
Step 2:
How many pics of lattes and/or cocktails and food are in there? Delete!
Step 3:
Memes! (Really? You are having trouble with this one?!?) Delete!
Do I hear whimpering? (Drill sergeant tone here…) DELETE!
The goal is to get the images down to images of your family and loved ones!
Step 4:
Now, create some kind of folder, or place where you can move the images around. The next exercise is to choose 20 images PER MONTH that you absolutely feel you just love.
Now comes the part I’d bet an adult beverage you will not do; Print 1 out of every 10 and put them in a box or an album in a place you will see in your home every day.
Notice two things:
1. You haven’t ‘thrown aways’ images of your family.
2. You have images that you absolutely LOVE where you can see them every day and you have a manageable number to look at!
Step 5:
