Organize Your September Favs!

organize monthly pics tips & tricks Oct 03, 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" album. And since we just wrapped up September, now is a great time to get all those great memories organized! 

 

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 so much easier!
  • 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 photo stream.
  • 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!
