I feel so overwhelmed by the task …
...of chronological storage.

Don't worry - It's OK!

Depending on how many pictures you are dealing with, you may not have time right now to set up storage binders for all of them. Please don't worry! Several years ago (long before I created this system) I rescued childhood pictures of my husband Geoff from about six magnetic photo albums. These pictures lived in one of my "cold storage" boxes for a long time. I eventually slipped Geoff's childhood pictures into a storage binder, so I could see them better and more importantly feel inspired by them.

Note: No one enjoys sifting through boxes of pictures looking for "that one." This is one reason why storage binders are such a great solution. If however you have a group pictures that you just can't deal with now, put them in a cold storage box. Trust me, they will wait for you!

The Take Away: Be as diligent as possible with your setting up your storage binders with five years of printed pictures. Learn the system with just five years and know that you will get to the point where you don't have to "sift" through boxes. Just remember, it's taken me years to get to this point!
