Organize Your June Favs!

organize monthly pics Jul 11, 2023

One of the easiest ways to start organizing your digital pictures is to take five minutes each month to put your favorites in a "Best of 2023" album! 

Benefits of having a "Best of 2023" album:

  • Most of us take hundreds, if not thousands, of pictures a year. Having your favorites 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 (like my May picture above) 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! 

If you haven't made a "Best of" album yet, now is the perfect time!
