1. Try not to take too many photos at the outset so I don't get overwhelmed.
2. Go through the photos often, deleting duplicates or ones I don't like.
3. Set my photos to automatically back up with Google Photos (the plans are quite cheap, like $20/year for both my and Chelsea's photos).
4. For longer trips, I create individual albums and add photos to that album so I can see them all at once. Google has great AI search features, e.g. if you type "tree" or "piano" it'll find all the photos with a tree or piano in them. I use that allll the time to locate a photo.
5. I have a recurring calendar event for Sunday evening with a link to Google Photos; I simply click and scan through photos from the week, plus look at the "this day _____ time ago." It's become a ritual, I love it!
6. Overall, I try to keep things fairly simple and not aim for perfection (some weeks I might ignore the calendar reminder or not delete duplicates). It's just a practice, like meditation, that I return to again and again.
Simple instructions and not earth-shattering, but I hope that helps!
Hi Laura and Jenny! Here's what I do:
1. Try not to take too many photos at the outset so I don't get overwhelmed.
