1. Divide and Conquer

  • Sort – Get yourself a few empty mailing envelopes, empty bins or just spots on the floor for sorting. Sort them into whatever system you want. Here are some ideas: Family, friends, year by year or holidays. It totally depends on what you think will be the easiest way to enjoy your pictures.
  • Once you have decided how you want to divide the pictures, start going through them one and one and placing them into the piles you have created.
  • One more container you should be sure to keep near by? A trash can…

2. Start Loading

  • This is going to be a moment you wish you had an “upload” button for your pictures. But alas, we have not lived in the digital age forever!
  • Go through your piles and start loading and making notes as you go.
  • If you have pictures that don’t fit well or ones you can cut down and slide two together, go for it!
