Memory-Keeping Memo: Small Steps, Big Wins — Your May Memory-Keeping Challenge

Big memory-keeping projects can feel overwhelming—but consistency makes it manageable. Some of the most priceless things we own aren’t things at all—they’re memories. Photos, letters, home videos, and keepsakes tell the story of our lives and the lives of those who came before us.

Small, steady actions every day add up to huge wins. It’s a lot like tending a garden: a little attention each day creates something lasting and beautiful over time.

Simple Idea: Match a Day in May

Here’s a fun, easy way to build your digital memory-keeping habit this month:

Each day in May, match the number of minutes you spend caring for your memories—whether you’re organizing in your FOREVER® storage account or sorting photos on your device—to the date of the month.

  • Example: May 3rd = 3 minutes; May 15th = 15 minutes.

Choose one memory-keeping task each day:

  • Facial Recognition: Use the Facial Recognition tool to tag and identify people in your photos, making it easier to search and organize them later.

  • Declutter/Delete: Spend time deleting duplicates, blurry shots, or screenshots you don't need to keep your collection clean and meaningful.

  • Organize: Move photos into Albums, tag events or locations, update dates, or add descriptions to make your digital photo albums easy to find and enjoy.

  • Create: Work on a project like a printed photo book, custom calendar, slideshow, or another way to turn your photos into something you can share and celebrate.

You don’t have to do it all—just one small step at a time!

Why It Works: Small Steps Make Big Wins

  • Small, daily actions help you build momentum without feeling overwhelmed. Instead of dreading a big project, you'll find yourself naturally making progress a little at a time.

  • Consistency creates a real, sustainable habit of protecting, organizing, and celebrating your memories.

  • By dedicating just a few minutes each day, you make a lasting difference in safeguarding your family stories, turning scattered memories into a preserved, meaningful family memory archive that can be enjoyed for generations.
