Studio Awesome Challenge Day 17: The dreaded wrangling of the files

Dec 17, 201631 Day Studio Awesome Challenge, The Business of being an artist0 comments

I know I am not along here.

Sometimes the hardest part of getting things done is really about inertia. The task seems so huge (emphasis on seems). Once I buckle down and get shit done (eating that frog) it takes next to no time to complete. Sometimes all it takes is a baby step, begin just the first task. Usually that first step will snowball into way beyond.

Yep. Today was that day. One of the things I have needed to wrangle is my computer files. Most notably the image archive. I have a crazy number of images and there is absolutely no rhyme or reason. There are even duplicates thanks to being so disorganized that I have to down load duplicates from my online files.

While I do think I will be chipping away at this task for MONTHS, I did manage to wrangle beyond that baby step I allowed myself…just one folder on my desktop. It is actually a really big folder…

So this super important studio task is going to be with me for a while… away beyond my 31 day challenge. But today, I made a huge start and a huge commitment to chip away at organizing, tagging and cataloging my images and files.
