A follower on social media responded to my post about drawing personal maps with an image of a map she had drawn. She was certain it was on her personal storage somewhere, but she ended having to search for a blog post she wrote about the map in order to find it.

Are your images organized and named in a way that you can find them?

  1. Shortly after I started my research, and found out I could save images and documents from the Internet, I realized I needed a consistent naming convention for the files. I was responsible for organizing files for major building projects before I retired, so I had a handle on what I needed. It took me a while to figure out how to keep track of women who married and changed their surnames, sometimes more than once. Even after more than 15 years, I still come across files that were mis-named. I usually don’t have trouble finding what I need, though.
