Organize Photos Chronologically and in Folders: Don't Organize Photo by Person! • Don't Organize Photos ...

I completely agree! I’ve been organizing photos (mine & others) for 20 years. Chronological folders on your computer with redundant back ups to external hard drives and the cloud is the absolute best and easiest way to go!

Thanks for the confirmation and for watching!!

The amount of photos that come into my world from so many different sources, my phone, my husband's phone, text, Snapchat, shared Google albums ... I feel like the folder organization is the only way to feel like I have some control of what I am choosing to archive for my family. I completely agree it is a much faster way of organizing photos especially now that I have a more consistent practice of working on them.

Thanks Mary!!

I’m 100% in the chronological camp!

Awesome! 👏 Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing!

I do it chronologically -> years -> months and if we have a big event/trip I put them in a separate folder within the year. I have a question how to deal with the photos when you don't know the exact year? You just put them in "I believe this is this decade"?

[@Pixologie]

Hi there - Yep - we call it Estimated 1980s or Estimated 1981, etc. Sometimes we just don't know and then we might use a "Undated" or "Unknown Date" to name a batch. Hope this helps!
Cheers!
