Imagine starting the new year with your photos easily accessible and safely preserved for generations to come. Taking small steps now can make this goal achievable, setting you up for a year of organized digital memories and a solid photo backup routine. This is the perfect time to focus on New Year photo organization and achieve peace of mind by preserving your family’s legacy.

Set Realistic Photo Organization Goals

Take a moment to reflect on your current photo organization habits. Many of us have thousands of unorganized digital photos scattered across devices or old media waiting to be digitized. This New Year is the perfect opportunity to tackle these challenges. Here are some ideas for achievable goals:

• Digitize old media: Convert slides, VHS tapes, and prints into digital files to keep your memories safe.

• Organize and tag photos: Use the FOREVER platform to tag and put your photos into albums. Utilize tools like Facial Recognition to make organizing your digital photos seamless.

• Create a photo backup routine: Make it a habit to back up your photos weekly or monthly. Building consistent habits for the new year can make keeping up so much easier than catching up later!

Start small and manageable:

• Dedicate just 15 minutes a day—consistency adds up! Small, regular efforts are far more effective than sporadic long sessions.

• Break tasks into smaller chunks—like tackling one folder, event, or trip at a time.
