Photo Therapy Session #2:
The Somewhat Obvious, Yet Very Powerful, Reason People Put Off Their Photographs:
Boredom
Let's face it. The idea of sorting through piles and piles of photographs and trying to get them into some reasonable order doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun.
We can easily think of a dozen other things that would be way more fun. . .
And we usually do - that's why the majority of people have photo collections that are out of control!
If you're facing this roadblock, then here are some tips on how you can overcome it:
O.K., this may sound oversimplified, but make it fun. What would make the process more enjoyable?
What could you do to have the absolute BEST time you could have while organizing your photographs?
Could you set yourself up in a sunny location? (No, we're not suggesting that you hop on a plane and drag your whole mess to Tahiti . . . we were thinking more along the lines of a sunny window in your home.)
Could you crank some fun music?
How about having a photo-organizing party and working alongside of your friends?
You get the idea.
With the right guidance and a bit of creativity, you'll soon discover that you really CAN get your photos organized and you can even have fun in the process.
And, like many things…once you actually get started, it isn't so bad at all!
