Organize Your July Favs!

best of 2023 organization organize monthly pics Aug 01, 2023

One of the best ways to start organizing your digital pictures is to take five minutes each month to put your favorites in a "Best of" album! 


Benefits of having a "Best of" album: 

  • Most of us take hundreds, if not thousands, of pictures a year. Having your favorites all in one place will make finding and sharing them incredibly easy.
  • Enables you to organize and declutter your memories in small doses throughout the year.
  • Ensures your monthly favorites don't get lost and forgotten in your photostream.
  • Prevents endless scrolling when looking for a specific picture, which can often be frustrating and unsuccessful.
  • Making your holiday card in December will take a fraction of the time because you've already organized your favorite pictures all year long!
