Summary

You only get to find out how many photos are on my phone if you listen to the podcast! Haha...but seriously, it's embarrassing. I'm learning right along with you in this episode, offering strategies for how to go through an overwhelming number of photos, and best ways to organize them once we declutter. We also dive a bit deeper into the importance of photos. How can we be intentional about preserving memories instead of picking up the phone simply because that's what we're used to doing? What are we so afraid of in terms of not documenting every moment and experience? We also talk a bit about hard copy photos and what to do with all those 4x6s from high school or summer camp 2002. MENTIONED THIS EPISODE Shannon's family yearbook: Chatbooks app Ordering 4x6 prints: Snapfish (100 free prints/month with the app!) ⁠4x6 Album for Family Yearbook - large capacity ⁠($20.39 - I lied-- the 600 pocket one doesn't have margins for captions but you can write pertinent info on the back of a photo! I like that this has a display in the front where you could put a notecard with the year for a family yearbook) ⁠4x6 Album for Family Yearbook⁠ - 240 slots ($12.99) ⁠4x6 photo album - I have 2 for all my miscellaneous loose photos⁠ (turns out these hold 300...I said they held more on the podcast!) ⁠5x7 photo album⁠ ⁠8x10 photo album⁠ PARING DOWN (SHANNON LEYKO): Sign up for my newsletter! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The L.E.S.S.
