Manage your photo archive
A coworker at Khan Academy shared some advice (apparently secondhand from the New York Times) for managing your ever-growing photo archive:
- Every day open your photos app
- Search for the day’s date
- Review your old photos from that day
- Delete ones you don’t need anymore
My first thought was “That’s brilliant!” It’s a low lift but once the habit is established it ensures that you address every day of the year.
The first day I tried it, I found this photo from 2017 when I was still teaching:
I have no memory of this day or what I was expecting the students to do, so I deleted it. One less photo in the archive!
With strategies like this, we can reduce the amount of junk data that we all have hanging around on someone else’s server.
