Digital clutter doesn’t feel as obvious as a cluttered closet. But if you’ve ever had that pit-in-your-stomach moment of not being able to find a photo that matters, you know this isn’t small.
In this episode I’m breaking down the three phases of getting your photos in order (Declutter, Organize, Maintain), the two specific starting points that build momentum without making any hard decisions, and the triple backup system that means you’ll never lose a photo again.
In this episode you’ll learn:
Why photo clutter is an emotional problem, not a storage problem
The three-phase framework: Declutter, Organize, Maintain
The burst photos trick that eliminates hundreds of photos in 20 minutes
The calendar method for going through your entire catalog one day at a time
The triple backup system that keeps your photos safe forever
