097 | How a timeline helps with photo organising

DIY Photo Organising

As we are organising photos, we usually like to know what happened when. There is a whole range of information we can gather during that process that can help us to date or place photos. This applies to printed and digital photos.

A great tool to help us gather that information that sometimes randomly comes up during the sorting is a timeline.

Some options to record a timeline are:

• A simple note book
• Index cards
• One sheet per year in a binder
• An Excel sheet
• A bubble chart

Links mentioned in this episode:

Our freebie for you! Two simple timeline templates to choose from. Simply go to this link, download your favourite version and print it as often as you like.

The bubble-chart timeline can be found here.
