I think I need a year of just tagging kits. One of the reasons I know I'd struggle with digital scrapbooking. I have a hard time just keeping track of some free cut files and printables. They are just yellow windows "files" when you look at them, I try to be descriptive in naming but you forget what is inside! Good job avoiding chores tho  |

Good job avoiding chores tho I have had that issue too, but then I found out you can import digital items into Lightroom as if they're photos, so you easily browse through them all visually. And you can search by the names the designers add to them as well as adding additional tags if you want to (which you can do as you import, if you're organized). And if you use the new Lightroom CC version they do searches that use AI to detect what the pictures are, so you can search circle and all the circular elements will show up even if they're not tagged or named circle. Kinda magical (but I found the CC program really limited/confusing in other ways so I don't use that). It's still not the same as flipping through papers and die cuts, but it's not bad. |

I tried to figure out lightroom but couldn’t. I useACDSee but it only pulls by what you have tagged. I can also only view by folder. I lost my tags a few years ago with a computer issue. So I have to retag everything. And I’m not good at tagging current ones either. I should make a rule that unless I have time to download and tag then I don’t buy. |

LisaDV losing your tags must have been such a huge frustration! Tagging is one of those tasks that shouldn't be so bad but is. I have a digital journal with tagging but it didn't take much for me to decide it wasn't worth the trouble to tag an entry as I wrote it and now I have months of untagged entires and the thought of going back and trying to tag the stuff I missed is horrible. So I feel a little of your pain. Maybe you could do it as a 100 day project - 100 days of tagging digitals, 25 minutes a day.

I downloaded photos and organized the photos into the appropriate date folder and worked on organizing kits for 2.5 hours today.

I plan to spend some time putting away Disney supplies and making some space on my counters today. I started doing that a bit ago, got distracted and put together a page instead, but I think I am ready now...
Will check back in and add up my organization points when I am done.

I put in another hour on photos this morning. All of my 2019 phone photos are on my computer.  Still have to do back up which maybe I'll run now since I've already deleted them from my phone. |
