Hello 👋

I’m feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work I created for my-self, my files are a mess.

  • How much time you spend just sorting and cleaning all you images?
  • Do you have the same folder structure for all you storage locations? (hard drives, cloud,…)
  • How many files do you have?

    I organize my digital photos by date and time. I rename them using the embedded timestamp. There are various tools that can quickly rename all your photos with a timestamp as prefix. ExifTool, for example.

    Once the photos are renamed with a timestamp prefixed, it is very easy to group and organize them. One folder per year. Subfolders per month or for special events. Add name of the event, persons and places to the filenames or subfolders.
