Why Your Photo Project Keeps Stalling
It’s not about time, or software, or how many photos you have, it’s about the step that you might have skipped when you started your photo organising project. In this episode of the DIY Photo Organising Podcast, Chantal moves on to Golden Rule 2 of the 5 Golden Rules of Photo Organising: Know Your Why.

She breaks down the real difference between a Why and a goal, shares practical examples and walks through how to turn a vague reason into a clear, motivating plan.
