Like many of you, I store thousands of photos on my iPhone. With Christmas coming up, both sides of our family are working on annual photo books which require me to weed through my zillion pictures and get them uploaded to the appropriate book creation website.
I realized that in addition to pictures chronicling our family's life, I have many, so many, shots of funny memes I texted to friends and also more book recommendations than I could probably ever actually read. I also have a disproportionally high number of shots of the kids sleeping in weird places. Is that a thing?
Today I finished up a week-long escapade through almost 3,000 iPhone pics. I deleted duplicates, memes and screenshots that were past their prime, and saved almost everything else to Evernote or Pinterest.
I'm well aware that it's a silly thing, but it feels so good to have that project off my list. There's some sort of unexplainable weight that is lifted when I get an organizational project done, even if it's organizing things that only exist digitally. Of course, it reminded me that I've been sort of wanting to go through my Pinterest boards and clean those up, too. I'm well aware of how dorky that is, but I know myself and that's the type of stuff that energizes me. I don't browse Pinterest much anymore but I really love it for storing my Books to Read as well as so many recipes. I do actually use them, too, because I move good ones to "Recipes to Keep" boards.
You can follow me here if you're interested. It's not the most sophisticated set of boards that exists, but I like them!
P.S. Praise God! My dad had knee replacement surgery today and it went really well. He's in recovery now, so I appreciate your prayers for him as he continues his rehabilitation.
