When we want to organize some of these folders, we will usually create a folder called "organize" or "sort me." Something to let us know the content needs to be sorted.
Next time you create a folder like that, call the folder "0rganize." Use the number 0 instead of the letter o. It looks almost identical, but because of the zero it will come up first in the list of folders.
I do this for all of my pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have my main picture file and within that each file represents a month. Each Month file is titled as follows: 2010 (year) 12(month) Family (description). This allows all of my pictures to be grouped in chronological order. I do this with events that have a lot of pictures. One of my files titles is: 2010 11 Thanksgiving.
I know if I used a photo organizer program of some sort it would automatically do this (because each picture has a date stamp on it)...but I don't.
I know that it created 12 or more files a year, but at least I know where every single photo is.
That is definitely a great way to do it. Pretty similar how I do it as well. I also use Picasa which is an amazing (and free) program.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tip. I've never been focused on my files until I recently started organizing them. I've ran across this guide: http://www.winzip.com/win/en/features/file-manager.html and since I all ready own the software, I started to do it, and that is when I realized in what a big mess my files were! Now everything is much clearer and simpler to find :D
