- Have I used this equipment within the past 6 months?
- Will I uses it (honestly), within the next 6 months?
If I answered no to both questions, I usually sell that piece of equipment on Offer Up, or Craigslist – and I use the proceeds to buy new equipment.
Goals/ Tasks
Questions I ask myself:
- What goals/tasks have I not completed?
- Why haven’t I completed them?
- Realistically, will I complete them?
- Are my goals/task lists helping get to where I want my business to be?
If I answer “no” to questions 3 and 4, I erase that task/goal and I set a new one that I know I will complete. One that will help me get to where I want my business to be. Otherwise, I keep it on the list and push myself harder to complete that goal/task.
Personal Project Photographs
Questions I ask myself:
- Why did I photograph this image?
- Have I used it on social media, my blog, or to print?
- Will I ever use it on social media, my blog, or print?
If I answered “no” to questions 2 and 3, I delete that photograph. Keep in mind these are images I took for my personal projects – not for my personal memory vault. Yes, I know. It hurts to press that delete button. How bad does it hurt? Enough that it will prompt you to use and/or share that photograph? Then keep it. But make sure you share it!
I hope this list was helpful to you! As always, I would LOVE to see your work. Please comment below with the name of your website, or your social media handles.
Below are 10 of my photographs that I could not hit the delete button on, and I had to share.
