How to organize my photos
It made me
Accomplished! 
"Rewarding"
How I did it: Took me longer than what I thought when I challenged myself. I totally failed that :( But I did come close considering how I had twice as many photos to organize than originally though
My photos are all digital, for the most part, so it wasn't hard to do, just extremely time consuming.
First, I opened the folder I had them in and set the list order by Date Taken (Order Created can work too but is not entirely accurate on the date so beware)
Next, I created new folders and named them by date "2009_02_14" which works great for me because I take dozens, sometimes hundreds of photos a day depending. (If anyone knows of an easier method of doing this, please let me know. My camera now automatically does this now but I have a few photos left to do from an old hard drive)
Lessons & tips: Back up your photos. CD's or DVD's work great or do what I did and buy an external hard drive solely for the purpose of housing your photos (if you have as many as I do!) Its so much easier now looking for family photos or pics from certain events that I need to reprint.
Resources: Picasa was a great tool in locating photos on an old hard drive. I didn't know I had any there at all!
