Wrap up - photo organization...

Well, I was not impressed with my performance during the first 30 day challenge. I made my usual mistake and overachieved for the first ten days, then petered out. I probably managed to do an AVERAGE of 30 minutes a day of photo organizing, but the majority was in those first 10 days.

I loved updating here, and it did encourage me to sit down and work on a few days when I otherwise would have skipped the project. I like the accountability of it.

The most important accomplishment that came out of this project for me was setting up an online backup system, so I can finally feel that my precious photos will be preserved even if the house burns down. I would be devastated to lose those triggers for memories of my kids' childhoods.

I do want to try again, so I'll be back for the next challenge. I have some ideas, but I think they will be less accomplishment driven and more peace driven. Maybe more guitar, maybe more sleep, maybe more baths. Or maybe I'll start running again. Or maybe an alternate day sort of thing. My kids start school in 1.5 weeks, so I'll theoretically have more free time then, but Cub Scouts also starts up again, which can easily suck my life away if I'm not careful. We'll see. I need to preserve some time for myself.

I really really enjoyed reading everyone else's posts. I checked back every day even though I didn't participate every day. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the 30 days... it has been really interesting! I hope that you'll all be back for Round II, and that you'll bring friends!
